Imagine our world without art! There would be no paintings, no dance, no sculptures, no drama. How would we preserve and share our cultures without art? How would we express our innermost thoughts? How would tribal colleges and universities “feel” to us without art? How would we be able to tell our stories?
Communication among cultures can be difficult at best.

Whether it takes the traditional, contemporary, or performing arts form, art helps us communicate across cultures.
