Five Arts and Culture Grants to Check Out This Week
Human beings are naturally artistic. It’s part of the way that we express ourselves, communicate our feelings with others and inspire others. Art is something that we have always interacted with, from prehistoric cave drawings to the explosion of art during the enlightenment. Art takes so many forms, from the written word to sculptures to paintings.
