What is Art - Frontenac Artisans Guild

If you ask, “what is art?” You will get as many different answers as you have responders. Here are a few famous answers:

Henry James:
“We work in the dark-we do what we can-we give what we have-our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”

Frank Lloyd Wright:
“Art is a discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use.”

Elbert Hubbard:
“Art is not a thing-it is a way.”

Michelangelo Pistoletto:
“Above all, artists must of be only in art galleries or museums-they must be present in all possible activities. The artist must be the sponsor of thoroughly in whatever endeavor people take on, at every level.”

Whatever you do or create-it is art-if you do it in the spirit of creating something you enjoy. If you don’t necessarily believe yourself to be an artist, quit doubting and own your gifts. You may need to Join a supportive group of like-minded people.

That is why Keesha Hervey (K. Hervey Art) and I (4 Corners Graphics) are creating the Frontenac Artisans Guild. Open to any self-proclaimed artist in the Frontenac area. Click here to download a membership application.
