I love the observation that flying in the theatre is a way to defy our earthly limitations, and a reason for choosing a career in the theatre. Well-cited and informative! | Theatre Beyond the Ground: Staging a Defiance of Gravity from Aeschylus to Živadinov |
You took on some challenging, hot button words for definition, which is admirable. I think art defies definition, but it is always fascinating to hear the various, subjective opinions. To me the formal aspects of art are objective, its interpretation is subjective. | That's Just, Like, Your Opinion, Man: An Argument that Art is Objective |
Thank you for the clear and useful tips! Writing can definitely have a love/hate component to it. I especially appreciated the supportive ethos of the ending video to go forth and make interesting mistakes… and make good art. | A Writer's Essential Steps to Staying Motivated |

Details on the exhibit’s sponsors, times, venues and dates would be better served at the end. Thank you for covering the important topic of race, especially in the visual arts! | 30 Americans |
