Creation of works and appreciation or interpretation of them has been a major focus of modern art. But in this study I describe art as care and hospitality. First, I examine the difference of roles of art in two types of art therapy. Section II shows that care-type art therapy has its source in early Christian hospital-ity. Section III shows that from the viewpoint of absolute-unconditional hospitality of Derrida's theory art is concerned with the impossibility of care. We come to the conclusion that the impossibility of care gives the possibility of hospitality, and that art is care of the aporia of care. This is the reason why art inevitably includes an aporia concerning the public.
