Day
Inspire
Your Heart with Art Day
What a GREAT Day to schedule a stamp camp/workshop, etc. A day devoted to experiencing art in your life. “Food sustains you as a human; art inspires
you to be divine.” Go to an art museum,
browse through an art nook at the library, enroll in an art class or commission
an artist.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once
he grows up. --
Pablo Picasso
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of
being wrong. – Joseph Chilton Pearce
