We need artists


If we are honest about the world we live in, we have to acknowledge how easily we can turn our backs on its brutality, cruelty and ugliness, how we fail to recognize the small beauties of the world, how we fail to see the our obligations as true humans.

This is why we need artists. They take on all of these concerns for all of us. Their art is a call to see the world through the lens of beauty, justice, humanity and joy—even found in a world troubled by darkness.
