To Inspire Others Through the Arts and by Creating You perhaps have often felt like an outcast... withdrawn at times, you find solace in spending time alone. You dont feel alone, however, when you are listening to a great album, watching a film by your favorite director, reading a powerful book, or getting lost in creating something that expresses who you are. You have a fundamental belief that we are all given a gift here in our lives, and you know that yours is through expressing yourself, and sharing it with others. Chances are you have been drawn to the arts and expression from early childhood. You love all genres of art, including painting/drawing, poetry, theater/film, dance, and mixed media. People respond to your talent and to your creations, and often go out of their way to tell you how it has affected and inspired them. This appreciation and recognition of your work fuels you to continue creating. Being recognized for your gift is wonderful, but you also create from a real sense of need; your expression comes from a deep, internal place, and through the creative process you make sense of the world and your place within it. It is how you process your emotions, find your freedom, and ultimately how you define yourself. If you are a creative spirit, and you have let your gift go dormant, chances are you feel depressed and dont feel connected to those around you. Reclaim your gift if you have cast it aside, or try a new medium if the previous one no longer fuels you. If you are currently using your talent, take it to the next level to create social change. Think upon a documentary or film that moved you to take action socially. Or perhaps it was a book, or a series of haunting photographs that moved you to volunteer abroad. In a society where art is often put to the way side you must fight to keep creating and sharing your voice. Art bridges the gap between gender, race, and socio-economic groups: it brings us closer to one another as human beings. We need your creative gifts to bring us together, now.
