art as an opportunity for connection

“To be honest, I don’t really remember the show, but I do remember that I held hands with my date!”

I think this might be how most people perceive art, most of the time—as an opportunity for connecting with others. Perhaps we can embrace the humility of letting our art be merely an occasion for people to cherish a person they love or get closer to someone new. Perhaps this is more than enough.

Thank you to Connie, Matt, and Anna for inspiring this post.
