LDS Art

So, I've been thinking about a conversation that I had with a friend of mine many years ago. It centered on the fact that, aside from a few notable examples, there was a whole bunch of terrible LDS art (by art I mean anything that could pass as one of the fine arts). She's a painter and I'm an opera singer, and we both see a serious lack of quality LDS work being done in our respective fields. We decided to do what we could to create a renaissance of LDS culture, so here's my call for an LDS renaissance. I want to see some quality work done. No kitsch, nothing vulgar or unclean. Put all your creativity and craft into it.

For the next few posts I'm going to be talking about what the problems are and what we can do to fix them. We'll see how it goes. I'm not guaranteeing any conclusions about anything, since most writers agree that what you think about a subject changes as you write about it. I suppose writing is an essential key to lucid thought. Anyway, we'll see where we go.
