Tom Finklepearl’s firm beliefs on collaboration are very applicable to everyday life. We have already established that art can occur anywhere and is not a permanent definition. There are aspects of art in different places such as streets, business, and schools. His work on the combination of arts and culture with big municipal projects are very important to consider as they can serve to promote justice, but it is lessons like these that can translate into more impactful services to society.
As I sit in the Co-lab writing this, I can only think of the influence and enrichment that collaboration adds to business. Having an entrepreneurial background and spirit, I believe that collaboration is the most important tool in growing a business. For example, by just adding one person to the project, the business gains countless human experiences, networks, and resources to solve problems and likely save money. The use of collaboration is really impactful, not just in business, but in all types of art as Finklepearl writes.
