Overwhelmed at the responses you left on my recent instagram about #whyart . So much intelligent discussion. To wrap it up, what exactly is it about the arts you enjoy? Is it losing yourself within someone else's creativity or finding a meaning in something you couldn't usually explain? Leave a comment below! Xx #ad
