When a black man is disadvantaged because he is black, an Artist suffers. When a sick man is taken advantage of because he is poor and can’t defend himself, an Artist suffers. When a woman is paid less, and works harder for her families fair housing and fair employment opportunities, an Artist suffers. When a child is discouraged from pursuing their interests and career of choice, because it is of lower economical value, an Artist suffers. . .

ART is angst. One can hardly advocate for the Arts without advocating for the Artist and as an Artist. Historically, ART has been a past time of the idle rich, however, the creation of ART is never exclusive. Supporting the Arts includes appreciating and understanding the role of the Artist in the world community. Artists are often impoverished, exploited, undervalued and manipulated. Yet, Artists are known to have an uncanny ability to paint themselves out of a corner, once in it. ARTISTS are contributors and have the means to relieve suffering. World change, remains the elemental magic of the Artists pallet, whoever that Artist may be and however they might express themselves. That is the power of ART and it’s not only changing how we see the world, but ART is changing world vision.
Imagine a world with a level playing field?

An Artist may be each and all these things
