"I believe all the great religious personalities including Moses, Jesus, and Buddha, were in truth artists, and I believe every great painter is religious. My definition of religion amounts to art and my definition of art amounts to religion. I don't believe you can have one significantly without the other. Art and religion are the inseparable structure and living adventure of the creative." - Richard Pousette-Dart.
What do you think is the function of art in Society? Can art save the world? Come gather at Venue 515 on The Business of Art Center campus every Wednesday night from 6 to 7:30 PM as we attempt to uncover the truth about art and its place in the world. What are the spiritual benefits, if any, to art? How has religion influenced art and vice-versa? All religious practices and artistic disciplines are respected. Everyone is welcome. The idea is to build community through dialogue. This is a structured discourse with a different topic each week. The discussion group will also have guest speakers, occasional movies and critiquing sessions. Bring your thoughts and ideas and let's talk about it.
"Art is not a product, but the original impulse to invent, improve and envision" - Marilyn Ferguson.
