Art for art’s sake – or rather, our sake….

It was Benjamin Constant, the French novelist, philosopher and politician who said: ‘Art for art’s sake, with no purpose, for any purpose perverts art. But art achieves a purpose which is not its own’.* Make of that what you will, but being able to to experience live arts, music, culture and events will not only be for the sake of arts and creative industries after so long in lockdown, but for everyone else’s sake and happiness too (*Oxford Dictionary of Quotations).
