How to Help: Arts
Giving Service Through and Promoting the Arts
“Music is a moral law.
It gives soul to the universe,
Wings to the mind,
Flight to the imagination,
A charm to sadness,
Gaiety and life to everything.
It is the essence of order
And lends to all that is good,
Just, and beautiful.” – Plato
Art and music can indeed bring “a charm to sadness” and add joy to life, particularly when these gifts are shared to lift others in need.
