Some expert views:
'They inspire, take risks, provoke thought, challenge, communicate, connect and innovate. Are fun and good for your mental health and well-being.' Sara Semple - Artist and voluntary workshop facilitator at Castle Community Crafts in Scarborough.
'The arts are important to create interrogative and experimental thinkers.' Lucy - Part of collaborative duo Reetso.
'The creative impulse is a natural part of life.' Chris Lee - Freelancer.
'Without the arts, life is reduced to the functional. The arts add depth, meaning and perspective to our lives, they help us to imagine things differently.' Anon - Kent.
'Because they allow you to learn new skills, experiment with different opinions and thinking processes, challenge yourself and learn more skills.' Beatrice Prosser-Snelling -Turner Contemporary, Margate.
'Because it is a subject that is completely inclusive and nobody has to be an expert. It also enables people to discover their learning styles and interests in a way that is accessible.' Sarah Wilkie - Jewellery designer and maker.
'Because they contribute to our own social, cultural, moral and emotional development.' Lesley Butterworth - The National Society for Education in Art and Design.
Wow - I missed out. The only role I might play in creating work like Facil's would be carrying it to the exhibition.
