Art can be serious or playful, literal or abstract, activist or ignorant. Art can address and undress social issues and can lead us to beauty and truth. Art can perform utilitarian purposes. Art can focus on tuning the artist and the audience into specific senses such as hearing music, tasting food, feeling the texture and fit of clothing, seeing a photograph. How do I explain what art is? By considering what art does. By considering what art does for the artist who forms it and the audience who sees it.
Did you know there is an art gallery in Enumclaw in the midst of the business stretch on Cole Street? And did you know all of the art in this gallery has been formed by the minds and hands of local artists?
