This week’s question is: Waterloo Region, what does art mean to you? Below are some of the thoughts and ideas shared by visitors so far:

  1. “A way to express your feelings”

  2. “One love”

  3. “More inclusion”

  4. “Something that evokes emotion and changes me”

  5. “Not math”

  6. “Reflection of the soul of a society”

THE MUSEUM’s Marketing and Communications Coordinator, Lizz DiCesare, also shared some thoughts about what art means to her:

“Art can be anything; it can be an illustration, a painting, written or spoken word, music, a performance, or dance. Pieces of art range from the Van Gogh’s paintings in museums, to a child’s drawing pinned up with pride on a fridge. Art evokes emotions, whether they are happy or sad, disturbing or exciting. Art makes you feel, and art makes you think. Pieces of art can make you question not only the artist’s interpretation or message, but also your own feelings. Why does a certain painting make you hopeful? Why can a performance move you to tears? Art can predict the future, and art can showcase the past.”
