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)
“American families, however, without exception, experience a double message in our society, one that claims a commitment to families and stresses the importance of raising bright, stable, productive citizens, yet remains so bound by an ideal of “rugged individualism” that parents receive little support in their task from the public or private sectors.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
