In honour of the occasion, here are four images, three gold-coloured (not actual gold) coins, and some art:

Happy World Art Day.
Art isn't decoration. It's a record of what we noticed, what moved us, what we want to hold onto. What we want to consign to oblivion.
"Say Anything: Abolish Ice" is part of that conversation.
