Review for Artisan Alley, Bloomington, IN, USA
Artisan Alley is an art organization that I was seeking. Through engaging Artisan Alley, I can share my artwork with other artists, make friends with people who love art, and prove art is not meaningless. I grew up in a family that considered academic achievements are far more important than achievement in art. They reduced my time in drawing and watching animation because they trust it is unrealistic to get a job by drawing. However, after I volunteered for Artisan Alley, I met a group of passionate and creative artists who can use their own skills, like crafting, painting, and sculpturing to bring joy to others. Every time I returned home from Artisan Alley, I shared those artists' stories and my achievements with my family. In the beginning, they did not pay attention to my words, but later they will ask me about what new thing I did and learned in Artisan Alley. I knew that my families' attitudes to art changed at that moment. Thus, I hope to share my story with Artisan Alley and help more people learn about such a great place to get access to the art world!
