Making the world better...through art. "But wait... I'm not an artist!" you say. "I can't even color between the lines, you say."
Stay with us, because the great thinker Thomas Merton once said it best: “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
These days, finding yourself and losing yourself both seem like great ideas. But in a day when we're bombarded by images all day long, how long do you stop and savor someone's beautiful artistic creation. And in communities where the arts aren't as emphasized as others, it's even harder to do.
Today on Doing Good the podcast, you'll hear about an initiative to celebrate arts in the hills of Appalachia. You'll hear how a scrappy group of volunteers is finding ways to turn brick walls, street corners, and even utility poles into canvases of creativity. And in so doing, they're making their community an even better place to live.
We think you'll be inspired by their story bring the beauty of art into your world.
