Food for Thought

“Every artist knows that they occupy a peculiar space. The world often thinks the arts are quaint, or superfluous, or the provenance of extremely wealthy patrons, or at worst, some sort of charade. This is why arts education and arts advocacy are critical not only to our survival but also to society’s survival. But we also have to support individual artists in any way we can. By showing up in any way possible, however possible.” ~Isa Catto, Artist
