Art is Life

June 17, 2008

Wyoming and Las Vegas Blvd“Art is Life”, says the billboard on Las Vegas Blvd., a few blocks from the Arts District of Las Vegas. The sign goes on to praise First Friday, the monthly Arts event that has brought a new awareness of the Arts to this city. I saw it and umm–that’s cool, I thought, what would happen if we actually embraced that slogan and lived it out? What if Art really is Life? What if that were the only way to define this un-definable thing we call Art? Wouldn’t that spawn changes to a few of our hackneyed aphorisms?…“Well, that’s Art,” we might say–or, “Art’s a funny thing.” And would we let our officials drain the Life/Art out of our public schools? If Art is Life, would you allow it to be sapped from the young? If we lose Art, we lose Life. Art is our identity and our birthright. It is our communion with all. In my Art, I want to extend Life. How could it be otherwise? And the young, so full of Life–are they not also full of Art? We owe it to Humanity to find out. We owe it to the children.
