What is art?

There is no workable definition of art. Nor can there be. Art is too global, too tied to human unpredictability and too much driven by the explosive number of artists. So what to do to find a place for the meaning of art in your life?
First, ask yourself what you want or expect art to do. Entertain you? Decorate your life? Open your eyes? Challenge your beliefs? Deepen your humanity? What?
Second, be open. Let art surprise you. Knock your socks off. Puzzle you. Infect you. Make you uncomfortable. Make you feel bigger.
See. It’s as easy as that.
