AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Listen to this episode of YourPR, called GenaPR, produced by Gena Lindsay, and get inspired to produce your own episode...

Here's a few words from Gena introducing her episode:

"I am in India, I could say a thousand things but I’m going to stick to two:
India is literally making me crazy and don’t believe anything anyone not from India says about India.
Foreigners are usually here to make money, take advantage or have some sort of manufactured enlightenment.
Don’t listen to me either.
Indians defy generalization, I am equally happy and pissed off most of the time.
This podcast is just a tiny sliver of what life is like here.

Gena Lindsay"

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,
