Most people agree these noble, year-planning resolutions often lead to early disappointment and failure to follow through. Resolutions are too rigid a process for a world experiencing change daily.

Visual Arts, Performance Art and the Art of Spoken and Written Word all contribute to a better understanding of ourselves and our neighbors.
