And yet not a day goes by that every person is not exposed to the arts. We are surrounded by visual and musical arts - music in ads, on TV shows, movies, video games. Fabric art, building design, graphic arts. I think that we are sometimes so immersed in it that we take it for granted.

I keep holding hope that the balancing will come... that our starved hearts and minds will crave and demand to be fed by the arts... and will turn eyes away from the influencer-"artists" and pull the true artists out from obscurity.
