Is art the most valuable means of insight into the direction of our collective purpose?

What is our “collective purpose”? I guess it is to ensure better and more secure & prosperous survival. To serve this direction art is essential, as well as the benefit offered by science and technology (and which art is quick to employ).Youth in particular invest heavily in songs and music as means for self-expression and for belonging to group (or social) movements, and painting is the first activity of children which they enjoy as a means for improvement and growth.But Art would not flourish within the atmosphere of suppression. It requires freedom of the mind and peace in society. This in turn enables creativity and maturity - leading to a mind of flexibility, inner peace and enhancing the bond of interconnectedness among people - as art surpasses race, gender or any category of discrimination. This serves a collective purpose of benefiting and binding society.I early 1900’s, music (and sport) was the most vital factor in overcoming racial discrimination, as the introduction of Jazz and Blues made benefit for both blacks and whites. Music in particular can unite humanity.It is said that Shakyamuni Buddha sent musicians first to play on the sitar and other instruments - to the tribes that he intended to visit, as this would dissolve tension among the people and make them more willing to peaceful relationships rather than anger and violence.In Soka movement of Buddhism, all cultural activities are considered as an essential vehicle of spiritual expression of humanity:Peace Through Culture | Daisaku Ikeda Website
