“There is a simple answer to this question: yes, art is vitally important. But there is also a longer and more complicated one that has to do with why art is important. Art is what makes life interesting, what distinguishes us as human beings, what enables us to imagine and believe in something greater than our own existence. Art makes us see, think and feel – connecting us to one another regardless of who we are or where we are from. Art is.”
— Glenn D. Lowry, Director, Museum of Modern Art, New York
