“The gift of artistic insight is not confined to the few whose talent has been recognized and educated, but it is generously spread by an all loving Creator through the generality of mankind”. Once we recognize that we call all use this gift of artistic insight to enrich our communities, we can accept and welcome a wide diversity of artistic pursuits, at varying levels of sophistication, and benefit from the new dimensions that they add to our community life.

In time, nurtured in an atmosphere where the arts are an essential part of social life, the general population will become more receptive to artistic expression and new arts will arise with an ever increasing capacity to give a voice to their vision- a vision that will transcend many contemporary artistic expressions with their tendencies towards self-referentially .”
