Support Artists
Supporting art and artists are important to a society. Not only helping an individual to support them selves out side the confines of corporate drudgery but also keeping money local and supporting local economies. Many people do not see the connection of art to their every day life however it is all around them all the time – not only wall are and sculpture but the design of every day objects, pattens and weaves of fabrics. Everything man made thing you experience was conceived of once by an artist. Think of it all the music you hear, all the patterns on what ever the object is, the design and shape of all the objects you use. From simple kitchen utensils to your automobile to the clothing you wear to the furniture you sit on. Before it existed it was an idea in an artists head. From this idea the physical object manifests. Without the artist conceiving of the object first the thing would not come into existence. Even many scientific discoveries and development were conceived of long before the inception of the actual. This is true with the novels of Jules Verne where concepts never heard of before were explored like under water travel and space travel. The ideas sparked in the readers of these stories no doubt lead in many was to the actual conception of these things. Artists conceived the design of air plane that carried me to my luxury Mallorca hotels, designed the comforter on the bed, the art work on the wall, the wall paper, the tiles in the bathroom… Artists effect your life in ways you cannot imagine once you get into thinking about the details of the objects around you. Without art and artists the world would be a less interesting place, certainly less colorful and less inventive. Attend local art events, support museums and find out who is creating what in your community. You may be amazed!
