| It was the painter and art educator Robert Henri who believed that there is asubtle, unconscious spirit that reflects and influences a community where the arts are celebrated. He felt that true artists of this community see their art as a calling that contributes to some greater good, associated with a sense of meaning that serves a higher purpose. As the director, I have witnessed this artistic generosity here at the Portage Park Center for the Arts. Every month at the PPCA is artist’s month and I personally witness this giving spirit in the over 60 artists who work here. I am grateful for each and every one of them! Peace and All Good Things, Jennifer La Civita Founder and Executive Director |

Everything that passes by us in life so swift, rare, and unequal Is here gathered together in a world of poems, pictures and great picture-cycles, in color stone, and sound To form a second, sublime world on earth We can only experience beauty through art for without art we should not know that it exists |
