Global Agenda Council on the Role of the Arts in Society 2013
"From visual arts to literature and music to dramatic performance, the arts exert a powerful influence on societal development. Artists often challenge commonly held perspectives with innovative thinking. They raise awareness about social issues, break down barriers to cross-cultural understanding and global dialogue, and inspire creative ideas.
Artists worldwide are important agents of change. Numerous examples demonstrate this fact, such as musical collaboration between opposing sides in conflict zones, therapeutic art to relieve psychological trauma and theatrical productions to promote community regeneration.
In times of financial and political instability, often the arts and culture domains are the first to suffer. Not only does a funding issue impact these institutions, but also the artists themselves have to turn to other occupations to survive. Without them, society loses an important element of its social capital, as well as a part of its history and future."
