We have art in order not to die of the truth.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Make art or you die a bit each day.

More than ever, it is easy to live in qualitative metrics.

• We measure success at work through numbers
• We count calories for nutrition
• We track each step we walk, each meter we run for health
• We can see metrics for weather outside and adjust the metrics inside our homes to compensate for the metrics from our utility bills

“Truth” in hard numbers is all around us. But these metrics don’t connect with our hearts and bring us life. That is the role of art.

• Art helps us know someone else understands our struggles. It can also be a way to celebrate success
• Art allows us to combine foods in beautiful and surprising ways, creating flavors and textures we never experienced before
• Art enables us to enjoy the beauty of nature while on an outdoor stroll
• Art can transform our houses into homes that inspire and rejuvenate us

Introduce more art into your days so you can experience more life.

Make more art each day so you can give life to others.
