Why art is important?

Answer 1

Boy is that a loaded question!

Art is important because it allows people to express themselves in a healthy and creative manner.  

Art can be many things but whatever its manifestation, its a product of one person's or a group of person's vision on something.  And its important because it helps people understand different things in the world. It helps people understand each other. It helps us understand ourselves.
