Make art

Art is everywhere. The arts
cannot be cancelled.

Make art, consume art,
be art.

Nature is an artist.

The arts live inside of us all.

'I’m not artistic; I find art boring;
I don’t get it'.

Creativity isn’t all about instinct.

It’s about pattern recognition
and cultural connection and
empathy and big ideas
crouching in the shadows -
of small artistic gestures.

Dance to music, cry or laugh
reading a book, make a speech,
draw, paint, play, sing, write... art.

Style your home - a room. Decorate
a table - a wall... art.

Prepare and plate - a meal... art.

Make art, consume art,
be art.

Art is everywhere. The arts
cannot be cancelled.

I ‘found’ parts of this piece in an article by Lorin Clarke in The Big Issue - 30 August 24.

Dream intentionally - while you’re awake.
