As an actress singer and dancer I believe that performing 🎭 arts inspire creative freedom can help us not just to be alive but to feel alive✨️ what you said I'm your speech really brought out that message 😌

[GKMcWhite]

Oh god please fix this "Sound is only on the left speaker"-issue. I really like these Videos but thats just awful and disturbing.

This is great .
..however 'the first time in history' might not be exact; you could make an argument that most cultures did not have art as separate category -- so the whole role of community/ professional arguments is cultural/ historical related as well. Certainly with trying to find any grant funding for community arts - the positioning get very tricky.
