Aesthetics is what each person sees in that picture of piece of art. Everyone will have different views of viewing art.
It was interesting to find this information focusing on Kansas City Arts. We are thinking about planning a trip to Kansas City and someone mentioned how much art is in that city. Then to find these quote on aesthetics was something else!

I wonder what that "Aesthetics happen" quote is supposed to mean. Do you think that it is addressing the fact that most people have some form of natural aesthetics?
