Dan Hanna (ElQueso[]gnn.com) says ... I think art is a combination of what the artist brings to the work,
meaning all the communication they include that is seperate from the
actual work, the actual work, and what the viewer sees in and brings
to the work on their own, meaning what a viewer feels about a peice
although through no intent of the artist. These three things act
like a chemical reaction, and without one of them the art peice
fail. These are opinions though, so if this doesn't happen for one
person, it isn't to say it won't happen for another over the same
peice.
Jerry Bookter (bookter[]scsn.net) says ... At its best, 'Art' is something that is positive and uplifting to the viewer/listener/whatever. It should be a celebration of humanity.

Mike Huber (anaximander[]geocities.com) says ... Art is intentionaly conveyed experience.
Art has exactly one message: "check this out!" That message can include quite a few nuances, though. This restriction rules out purely "message" oriented art. If a piece of art just says "War Sucks" that's not art, but if it somehow gives an experience of the same message(for example, "hey - check this out - war can get your arm blown off like this guy's arm. That sucks."), that IS art.
In other words, art shows, it doesn't tell.

the structure we give them reflects the structure of our minds.
Arising from mind and conditioned by mind, art is a mirror of our
consciousness.
Art enters the realm of the sacred when it transcends personal and cultural
expressions and mirrors the deeper levels of consciousness.
In this realm, art has the power to illumine dimensions of mind inaccessible
to our physical senses and show us the true nature of our being.

is...extraordinary, there exists...the possibility of many styles....
Every style is good which actually communicates an inner state, which
makes no mistake as to the signs, the tempo of the signs, the
gestures -- all rules of phrasing are art of gesture. (Art is) the
art of grand rhythm, the grand style of phrasing, as the expression
of a tremendous rise and fall of sublime, of superhuman passion..."

Steve Jones (gargoyle[]echonyc.com) says ... Art is a kind of experience. An artifact is not art.
An artifact can create an ART experience in a perceiving entity,
but is not an embodiment of ART, per se.
One person's ART is another person's SOMETHING ELSE.(Trash, nature, mess, meaningless object, tool, etcetera.)
Just as the MUSIC experience can be had by one, but not by another,
so the ART experience can be had by one and not another.
If someone has an experience with something that feels to them to be NOT ART,
they are not wrong, any more than the person who experience the same something
to be ART.
ART is the name we give to a certain kind of feeling we get from a
region of experience which delivers something more than the sum of
it's parts, maybe we could say.
Something which unites the apparent with the felt. Hmm?
Definitely a subjective thing.
