¿Qué es arte?

What Is Art? Expression, Meaning, and the Human Experience

Is art simply something beautiful to look at — or is it a mirror of our emotions, history, and identity?
From ancient cave paintings to digital installations, humans have always created. But why? And what makes something “art” in the first place?

This Spanish-language meetup invites you to explore the purpose, power, and evolving definition of art through conversation, debate, and discovery.
