A friend of mine, singer/songwriter Carolyn Arends just wrote a great article for Christianity Today, called Saying More Than We Can Say. The subtitle is "Why the arts matter even during a recession". You all should read it.
Here's a wee excerpt to whet your appetite:
"But the arts do even more than help us believe in transformed realities: they kindle faith in unseen realities. My own sense of transcendence is nurtured primarily by beauty—in the created world (mountains, oceans, wildflowers) and in the world we help create (poems, songs, sculpture). By convincing us that there is something more than the material realm of atoms and synapses, the arts open a vista to belief in God."
