Art: what’s in store?
Art: what’s in store?
We all ride out on the singular paths of our lives, rarely looking back or sidelong, seldom halting to retrospect and hardly realizing what we have missed on the way; to finally having reached the destination without having much to say about the journey. It seems folly, sometimes, to even think of having to spend time en route on something that doesn’t help getting quicker to the destination. But still we have nothing to say about the journey or the experience we felt unless the pursuit of the destination is all encompassing and gratifying. But hardly ever is it so, as our lives have so many destinations when coming to think of what every individual does.
Art, as a companion for the lonely traveler on his perennial journey, is undervalued by many as an unnecessary expense. But think of a pit stop where the food tastes insipid and how could you have enjoyed it better. Art in its nascent stage of today has this one spicy ingredient that could go a long way in enriching life and its many niceties. Without reasonable doubt it encourages creativity, inculcates an out-of-the-box perspective and reaps indispensable skills which does a great deal of good for any and everyone in whatever they are doing. For many also viewed with many varied angles as a form of recreation, entertainment, learning, personality-building, career, education, therapy and many more. And the benefits from any more than suffice for one. The very first footprint that art, especially in India would try to achieve is to be recognized as an important immutable part of people’s lives and not be regarded as a trifling matter.
We wouldn’t go so far as to say that Art is a necessity for all as in reality it is only for a very few, but still it is poised in that very direction. And when striving to further its progress in that very direction, art has a lot of ground to fill. With a far above the ground mark yet to be scaled it definitely needs a booster shot to augment the deficit. If art does aim to reach every household and touch everybody’s life, it needs the encouragement to bolster its strength. When looked into history and the how of the cellular phones gaining an almost permanent throne in everyday life, we would like to see the future with art juxtaposed in a very similar seat. In a manner of speaking we at United Arts Society are taking this thought very seriously and hence are rearing to have a go, with our determinations backing us up, to take art to the position it deserves.
