Our Souls Aren’t Listening Anymore

Art is in a bad place right now. Museums and galleries are seeing dwindling numbers are catering their programming to a smaller group of elites, the artworld feels more academic and closed off than ever, and the culture around art is still upset over styles from 60 years ago. In light of this, Our Souls Aren't Listening Anymore questions the relevance of art in the 21st century and analyzes art history as a debate between spiritual approaches to art and secular approaches. If there is spiritual art, why doesn't that seem to be working anymore? Is Art Still Relevant?
