Can art and travel make things better?

"The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees, that each of them is."

– Marcel Proust, La Prisonnière (The Captive), 1923

To learn to “...see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others” means to establish common ground and shared experience. From these two seeds, we create deeper community across borders.

These are the essential skills we simply learn as we go, as we learn the processes of making art and of traveling well.

So yes, Art and Travel can help. Our beleaguered world needs both the art - known and understood as process - and authentic travel experience. Both endeavor to reveal something as yet unknown and wonderful. This is the true adventure.
