The Value of Free by Stephanie Galloway

Just because something is free it does not mean it has no value. In a world where we often judge things my there price tag Free Art Friday Albuquerque helps to show us an alternative way of seeing the value in art.  The importance of art in our culture can then be rooted in what it means to people beyond its monetary value.

Some of the most special pieces of art I have are gifts that were freely given to me. They are connected to emotional and spiritual experiences that I am able to revisit every time I see them. A person that finds a Free Art Friday art often associates the piece they find with its location and what they were doing at the time they found it.

So in a way Free Art Friday art helps to create a lasting memory for someone which can also give a sense of purpose and pride for the artist knowing that their art had an important part of making a memory.
