The arts and converged media
Great art can make us realise that
we need to be more dignified. Artists provide a very important and
different prism through which we experience the world. . . Remove it,
and you become very technocratic and narrow. Embrace it, and you have a
genuinely interesting, pluralist, open-minded society. Jonathan Mills AO - Director of Edinburgh International Festival
