A million little things contribute to the birth of an idea. Feeling the sun on your face, listening to the din in a crowded airport or watching a spider spin a web are pieces of life that contribute to creating art. Everything you see, do and hear will factor into the way you express creativity. The imagination and genius of artists, musicians and writers inspires all of us.
Here's what inspires us this season (Winter, 2008). Please click here to send us your favorite books, music, plays, movies and quotations. We will post them on the site. Kindly indicate if it's ok to use your name.
