ART SPARKS enlightenment

73% of Americans across all demographic and economic categories agree that the arts help us “understand other cultures better.” Art helps us open our eyes and appreciate the vibrancy of the American melting pot. Through their art, artists have the singular ability to breach the barriers of language and culture and encourage the understanding and empathy essential to peace and stability. To experience a work of art is to walk, for maybe just a moment, in someone else’s shoes. To both glimpse and emotionally inhabit the world through another perspective. By simply being, art shows us that there are always other ways to see, experience and interpret the world.

LexArts supports artists and arts organizations to help art come to life for all to experience .
