A point about #art being empowering for all rather than being exclusive to any elite world is that it imbues an armor against dehumanization to feel comfortable with art as an observer and as a maker.
My father was always a working artist despite not making much from the effort. It provided him with experiences beyond his labor and gave him a deeper identity than what others labeled him as.
Not all art is in galleries but all labor can be elevated into art. It enriches maker and viewer.
