AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

friends, is there an answer to the question, "What is art?" Is it even a valid question? Is the definition a universal, or are there many individual definitions that have a smaller overlapping commonality?

as you can see, I'm working on some basic stuff and never studied (or gave much thought to) the theoretical aspect of just exactly what makes something art.

thanks for clueing me in,
michael
