Art's Disappearnce in Modern Life

Has Modern Life Forgotten Art ?

Join us for a conversation on the decline of art in everyday life, especially in modern architecture and public spaces. From soulless buildings to uninspired design, many feel that creativity and beauty have been stripped away in favor of function, efficiency and cost-cutting. What have we lost in the process ? Why do older buildings and classical forms still move us, while modern construction feels cold ? This discussion invites us to question the values behind modern design and whether there is a path back to integrating art into our daily surroundings. Can we go back to a park bench with a soul from the modern glorified planks ?
