The Portraiture and Poetry Chapbook created from "THE POETIC FACE" Exhibition:

Art Manifesto:
ART IS IMPORTANT
Art stimulates creativity
Creativity allows you to think ‘outside the box’
Thinking outside the box stimulates creative problem solving
Solving problems, whether culturally, politically, or socially will enhance well-being
Enhanced well-being creates healthier individuals
Healthier individuals = a healthier society
Healthier societies create a healthier, more peaceful world
THE WORLD NEEDS ART
