Seeing art galleries pushed out of Vancouver is like witnessing a silent heart attack against the health of a people. Not everyone wants a piece of artwork in their home but people need a reflection of artwork in their community.
Art is a mirror of the human lifeway, past, present and future. It is the unseen vision that connects one human to another, the rhythmic flow of energy that captures a people’s victory, failure, hope, despair and all the enigmatic possibilities in between. We need to protect our visionaries lest we lose the spark of our own humanity.
