Artistic Commitment
Being persuaded that art, by its creative power, can unleash positive energy and create closer relations between individuals and peoples, cultural aspects have been highlighted by the organizers. Says Le Soir : “Art is displayed at Ric's Art Boat. An open gallery on the water and the banks of Brussels. In recent years two boats moored at the Quai des Péniches have been multiplying cultural events and festivities.”

Famous quotes containing the words artistic and/or commitment:
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“A two-parent family based on love and commitment can be a wonderful thing, but historically speaking the “two-parent paradigm” has left an extraordinary amount of room for economic inequality, violence and male dominance.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
