The philosophy of art reinforcement (revised: discussion sought and required)

1. The philosophy of art reinforcement is about the nature of goodness in creativity, or what obtains from focused intuitive behaviour, viz. the capacity of art to improve people’s quality of life; it makes them healthy.

2. It does not confuse the individual production of art, the social production of art, and the ontic qualities of art, viz. those that inform a value theory to art, or an ontology of aesthetics.

3. It is about all artists, established and emerging.

4. It is about collaboration.

5. It is about recognising the inherent artistic qualities of all material production (linked to the ontic nature of art or an ontology of aesthetics).

6. It is about openness, acceptance, fairness, and discipline.

7. We are the stewards of the land.

8. It is about the belief that this one is the best one, and you do it over and over again because you want it to be as good as the last.

9. Art is an answer as ambiguous as the question.
