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:
“Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self- employment and artistic autonomy.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Commitment, by its nature, frees us from ourselves and, while it stands us in opposition to some, it joins us with others similarly committed. Commitment moves us from the mirror trap of the self absorbed with the self to the freedom of a community of shared values.”
—Michael Lewis (late 20th century)
