Art matters...well, it means art can make a real and tangible difference in people’s lives. With it you can express things that you hadn’t been able to in words. It’s a lasting representation of our past.
Here’s an example. The siege of Leningrad. The Germans had taken over Leningrad in WW2 for about two whole years, but the starving orchestra performed an amazing, compelling piece of music. They played it across the city and right in the Germans’ faces. Soon after, they gained back control of the city.

The term art matters encourages all of us to not only learn to make art, but to appreciate it it all its beauty. You don’t have to be good at it to know that it matters.
