live events are art.
When people ask what my favorite medium of art is, I often surprise them with my answer when I say “planning live events.”
To me, the act of planning an event and bringing people together is a form of art and art-making. Gathering people on purpose, all in one place at the same time, to celebrate, dance, appreciate, eat, enjoy, come together to support a good cause, or any other reason is impactful and important in so many ways that go beyond simply the joy of getting together. Good is done in community, and we are able to make real-world connections with others that are so very needed in our day and age. I love the art of planning events and bringing people together!
