Art has various functions and has impacted different aspects of our lives throughout the history. Human has been using different forms of art to express their emotions and needs and inquire about their power to make changes. Art has the power to provoke social changes when used to influence people.

It can connect people to their senses, body, and mind, and through this connection, they can feel the world more deeply. This engagement with the world around us may and will spur us to think and take action. Art can be used as an asset to enjoy and be entertained and communicate and help one another.

The Connection Between Art and Human

Looking at history, it is possible to trace art's significant influence on people's lives. The most primitive designs date back to when humans lived in caves and painted their emotions and needs on rocks or used paintings to communicate with other human beings.

We see that we cannot separate art from human and also humanitarian actions because art has the power to evoke emotions and inspire people to take action. Each individual will find a way to let art help them express their feelings, and each observer is free to interpret a piece of art.  

When another person needs help, art finds a way to reach out to them, to be a voice, facilitator, comfort, support, connect, unite, and find a solution.

How Can Art Connect People?

Art can unite people from different backgrounds. It is a universal language that connects people, no matter what language they speak because it speaks directly to the human soul.

Artworks communicate in many ways: painting pictures of hope when it seems impossible to have hope, writing a novel and expressing feelings when it's hard to talk about them, or making music to inspire change when the world is going down around you.

Art can uplift and promote the collective life of humanity by communicating shared feelings and goals and encouraging them to make constructive changes in their environment.

The Power of Art in Community Building and Humanitarian Causes

Community foundations are non-profit organizations that pool the resources of individual donors to make grants to address local issues. 

In the late 20th century, there was a significant increase in individual giving, which led to the development of new funding mechanisms for community foundations. 

One such mechanism is using art to raise funds for philanthropic causes. By using art as a means of fundraising, community foundations are able to attract art enthusiasts while promoting community building and creating change for humanitarian causes. 

This combination of art and philanthropy can make a lasting impact on local communities and bring people together to work towards a common goal.
