Why Art Matters. Always.
Why Art Matters. Always.
by Paige Miglio, Executive Director
Art is infused into everything we see, touch, hear, and feel. It’s the the words we read, the movies we watch, the furniture we sit on, the shoes on our feet, the car we drive, the bridge we cross.
Art innovates. Art allows us to dream. Art can help us to see what we cannot understand. Art changes minds and affects thought. Art provides fresh insight and perspective.
Art transforms. Art heals the mind and soul. Art can reach into depression, dementia, and pain and offer solace. Art can wash over us softly, or hit us like a ton of bricks. Art lifts us up. Art gives life, energy, vitality, and a sense of purpose.
Art connects. Art bridges divides. Art brings us together like nothing else can.
The Milford Arts Council has supported and presented all forms of art for nearly 50 years.
We'd like to continue to do so for another 50 years.
If you have ever attended just one MAC event that touched you, then you know what art is capable of. Our signature intimacy means you experience art in a tangible manner. It will stay with you. It will change you. It will move you.
Art is a movement, not a consumable. When you give to the MAC, you are investing in that movement. Your donations help to lift others. Your donor membership makes dreams happen. Your gift makes sure we are here for the next person to experience art.
We simply cannot imagine our community or our world without the arts.
Can you?
