Legendary artist Brian Eno and writer/visual artist Bette Adriaanse present a major new work exploring the meaning and purpose of art.

Why do we need art?

What Art Does is an invitation to explore this vital question. It is a chance to understand how art is made by all of us. How it creates communities, opens our worlds, and can transform us.

Curious and playful, richly illustrated, full of ideas and life, it is an inspiring call to imagine a different future.
