The first step for artists to bring light and hope to culture

Here I engage with some exhortations from Calvin Seerveld to college students in the 1960s. How do artists bring light and hope to their culture?:

  1. Stay connected to people.
  2. Don't lose trust with people.

SENT WITH

Martin Luther on the need for music education:

"I have always loved music; whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperment, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools; a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him; neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music."
