We want art to be our vehicle of expression. That inner examination of our thoughts and emotions is what keeps our art alive. We want to make a living out of art as well. It is a goal to live out of what we love to do. All of the above are legitimate and totally justified reasons with value on their own. Is there anything more or anything else that our art can accomplish beyond ourselves? Or is art all about ourselves as artists?

The artistic world is so big that it divides art galleries into a large number of categories. Normally, an art gallery focuses on a specific thing and it is taken care of by a curator who knows everything about that type of art. Most often, in art galleries one can find art from certain regions, from a specific medium, style of art that has one sole focus (political art can be an example). In this case, the majority of the art gallery pieces are for sale, but the gallery can preserve a certain collection if it wants.

In addition to this, most art galleries are open to the public and they allow people to enter and buy art if they want. In this case, lots of public galleries host openings and they advertise their presence in order to gain more audience. This helps young artists affirm themselves and it can even help them sell their work. Very often, galleries buy art from other artists in order to resell it later. There are also private art galleries which require a membership in order to offer access. And last but not least, from this top one shouldn't leave out the private galleries that display only high-end art and host exclusivist guests.

Making art because you love art is the most important aspect to maintain a flow of satisfaction in the river of creativity. Is that personal enjoyment that allow artists to keep trying, exploring, expressing, and perfecting. We want to love what we do. We want to get better at it. We want to improve our technique and explore other ways to bring our ideas to life. We want art to be our vehicle of expression. That inner examination of our thoughts and emotions is what keeps our art alive. We want to make a living out of art as well. It is a goal to live out of what we love to do. All of the above are legitimate and totally justified reasons with value on their own. Is there anything more or anything else that our art can accomplish beyond ourselves? Or is art all about ourselves as artists?

This week I was asked to write a 'Mission Statement' in which I had to articulate my purpose and intentions for creating art. The mission statement required a clear plan or goal I want to accomplish. I personally believe that the aforementioned purpose makes my art be all about myself and by doing that when I die my art will die with me. That made me rethink and reconsider the reason for my limited existence in the physical world. This mission statement was already in my thoughts and my heart, but it is a good idea to put it together in one declaration that shows intentionality. HipHop
