Kindness matters. The paintings of the koi fish swimming against the strong currents in Color Me Orange—Color Me Kind depicts our struggles with difficult relationships. No one is immune from hate. The words “Stop bullying” don’t cause change. But words like “Be kind” empower us to bring out the best in others.
Deliberate small acts of kindness—like encouragement, forgiveness, and love—display strength.
During ArtPrize 2016 as viewers tied orange ribbons on the canvas, the see-through orange mesh fencing became opaque with color. Thus, as a community, we symbolically made a commitment to color our world with kindness.
PS: Year after year, there are always surprises in interacting with the ArtPrize audience. In this video, enjoy this spontaneous moment with some random students. The kids are sure to make you smile!
Who needs a little kindness in your life?
