Contribution of Art in Society
 

I found this article today and thought it was interesting:

And then I found myself wondering: how do my friends on the forum feel that their art contributes to society? Not just on an economic level, but on a social, mental, and even spiritual level? People in all respectable industries can say, at the end of the day, that they have worked to make the world a better place.

In what ways do you feel you have made the world a better place by your art? In what ways do you feel the world would be worse off if you didn't devote your life to your craft?
