Franklin Art Association: Musings from the FAA President

Musings from the President: 

Hello Friends and Members, 

Art doesn’t have to shout to be powerful. 

Choosing to make art is a quiet kind of rebellion. It’s a way of saying I’m still paying attention — to beauty, to feeling and to one another. Every sketch, stroke, movement, or experiment pushes back against the idea that everything must be efficient and profitable.

At the Franklin Art Association, we believe art is both a joy and a civic act. It builds connection, invites curiosity, and reminds us that imagination is a renewable resource. 

Making something, anything, together is how we practice hope. 
So keep creating. 

With gratitude and optimism, 

Nicole Horsman
