Giving Back To Make A Difference

I recently read an article on Gerhard Richter in him giving one million dollar plus from the sales of his art. The one million dollars is to build homes for the homeless. There is a huge percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck so if they lose their employment, homelessness is close by. Sometimes it has nothing to do with them through several different circumstances it happens. To have the acknowledgement of the artists of the world help others in need even temporary will give others including the homeless a chance to believe in another opportunity to believe theirself and capabilities they have more then just a job they used to have. As the global art community we must be the force of opening minds and speaking to the world on a deeper level.
