Art is good for society, here is why.
(Reading time 1.5 minutes) Enjoying time...endless.
The best way for me to begin is by discrediting my own article. The reason for this is that there are plenty of excellent essays out there discussing this very topic, they offer scientific proof and hard statistics. I don’t. Instead I offer you my humble opinion.
Imagine a world without art. We might as well imagine a world without communication. Because that, in its purest form, is what art comes down to, communication. Art is the most varied and effective means of communication available to humanity.
I could stop there. But…
I thought I would just show you some art, and let the art communicate its own importance. Good art, like nature, should be self evident.

An exclusive evening inside Parker Street Studios with one of Vancouver’s most beloved contemporary painters.
Each November, Vancouver’s Eastside Culture Crawl transforms the city’s East End into a vibrant maze of open studios, creative workshops, artist talks, and behind-the-scenes explorations. This year marks the 29th annual Crawl, a celebration of visual arts that draws tens of thousands of art lovers to the iconic neighbourhoods surrounding Strathcona, Clark Drive, and the Waterfront.
But before the crowds arrive, before the weekend buzz fills the four floors of Parker Street Studios, Canadian artist David Wilson is offering something exceptionally rare:
A quiet, private collector preview of his newest body of work.
And we’re inviting you inside.

Steffich Fine Art BUSINESS HOURS
We’re a small but mighty crew, opening when inspiration strikes
(’round ten or two). Closing when the lights fade — or we do.
Quantity of hours? Overrated. Quality of art? Unmatched.
If the door’s locked, fear not — we’re out delivering dreams, no doubt.
Give us a holler and our gnomes will fly to open the door or bring art nearby.
