You can’t measure art.
Not in likes, not in subscriptions, not in hits, not in retweets, not in shares, not in video views, not in web traffic, not in session duration, not in followers, not in mentions, not in impressions, not in profile visits, not in conversions, not in post reach, not in active users, not in link clicks, not in the numbers of people "going" and "interested". Not in sales.
You can’t measure art.
Not in the wide eyes, expectant faces and creative minds in the audience. Not in the nodding heads and clicking fingers, not in the decibels of cheers and applause. Not in the thoughts provoked, epiphanies experienced and perspectives changed forever.
You can’t measure art.
Not in the lasting friendships and relationships built, not in the feelings of acceptance and self worth nurtured. Not in the giving of purpose, the fostering of community and respect among peers. Not in the strangers connected by ideas and experience, the new visions given, not in the transcending of life.
But we need funding, so can you fill out this feedback form?
