The Purpose of Art

What is art? A giant blue bird sculpture was recently unveiled in London’s Trafalgar Square sparking a lively debate on what constitutes public art. Apparently, the sculpture is meant to symbolise regeneration and strength. However its meaning was somewhat lost on onlookers. It’s not the first time that art has left people bewildered. Consider the parent or grandparent who does not understand the younger generation’s choice in music. What about other preferences, such as one’s choice in fashion or even furniture?  Why do we have art as a part of our lives at all? Do we need it? What is it for? This Sunday we will look at what the Bible has to say about this subject. You might be surprised at what you hear. Please join us this week, and bring along a friend, to one of our two Sunday services:10:30 AM at Innis Town Hall, Downtown Toronto; or 2:30 PM at World Vision Center in Mississauga.
