THE ARTS - A BRIDGE TO UNDERSTANDING
Over generations throughout the world's many cultures, the arts have endured as vital, vibrant and dynamic necessities in the human desire to express innate creativity and passion for life and its many traditions and circumstances.
The participatory nature of the arts encourages interaction with diverse media as well as interaction with the various cultural and spiritual elements indigenous to artistic expression.
The arts stimulate us to appreciate the inherent beauty within ourselves and within the world at large, promoting global awareness and a respect for all of humanity.
The arts have great unifying power as we explore the issues and emotions expressed throughout the ages by all cultures, including those that have no word for art - where art cannot be separated from daily life - where it is a constant expression of a culture's worldview - where it is a reflection of human necessity.
