In Defense of the Arts Series

Art & Being Human

Contentious. Divided. Angry. Depressed. Uncertain. Lack of trust. Accusatory. Unsympathetic. Suspicious. War. Selfishness. Control. Power.

There is no doubt that our current culture is wading through these conditions. Add to these the tension of economic uncertainty and the cultural tone stiffens even more. How does one justify even giving a thought to the arts or creative endeavors in these times?

What impact does art really have on our lives as human beings? Can it help us be better neighbors?

These are not new questions, but ones that need addressing/readdressing from time to time. In this third in a series of three talks, Kirk Irwin—the director of Friday Arts Project—will attempt to do just that.
