An artistic culture is a breeding ground for creativity. It allows the growth of thoughts and promotes the exchange of ideas. Coffee shops chatter with developments as minds overflow with projects. A once shy village drops its inhibitions and becomes comfortable with the expression of emotions. Closets spill once hid ideas. A creative outburst of music, painting, theater, literature and dance explodes onto our manicured village like candy scattering the front lawn after the burst of a plump pinata.
An artistic culture strengthens with the addition of each mind. Artists from neighboring communities become interested and seek the shadowy streets of our village for inspiration. As the public eye becomes more interested, ideas become more visible. Inspired youth pluck melodies in the parks and amateur painters search local thrift stores for supplies. Coffee shops buzz with spontaneous poetry slams and rundown antique stores support local projects. Visiting artist begin sharing ideas like fluttering seeds blown in an Indian Summer wind.
This roadside doodle was found accompanied by a small Rhino Art sticker form Encinitas. Is this the signature of a visiting artist? Has Carlsbad gained the interest of other artistic communities?
Is an artistic culture developing in our village?

Perhaps, perhaps not. I’d rather sit and wait and watch the paints splatter. If an artistic culture is rising within, then surely it will show! Eventually. If there isn’t- well. . . there’s more to art than what is written in the books.
Then again, I don’t know much. Pah. My answer is rather a well-meaning ‘maybe’.
