The Healing Opportunity of Art:
"I think raising consciousness, helping people see and understand how they're connected to these larger systems in the world around us, is an incredibly important thing. I think art can do this in ways that are provocative, meaningful and inspirational, deeply moving, beautiful, connected with history and culture and resonant. I think that's a big part of it. There's another part of it where I think artists have the opportunity to more than call attention to problems and preach, to really help solve problems. To help create things that work better, that are just more beautiful and right." Works and Conversations Magazine interviews Sam Bower, founder of GreenMuseum.org, which helps people create, present and appreciate art that heals our relationship with the natural world. [more]

Be The Change:
In your own work, whether that's with an email, a process, or actual canvas, make an effort to do what is "just more beautiful and right."
