“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” - Kurt Vonnegut
The best way to engage with the Arts at home is to make art every day! It doesn't have to be complicated or elaborate - just do something artistic that speaks to you each day. Sing a song, draw something, dance around your living room, make up a character. Be bold and uniquely yourself.
