There is art hidden all around us, quietly hushed by the urban hum of
busy traffic and electric lamp lights. Tucked within the cracks along
the pavement, there is a poem starving to be written; between
the bricks of retired buildings, there is a story longing to
be told; and inside the hearts of every human being, regardless of
social status, there is a portrait patiently waiting to be painted.
When a person creates art, they are transformed. When they bring that
art into the world, the world is transformed. When those on the
margins bring their art into the world, the world can be transformed
for the better.
The "
Outside/In" project
offers a dramatic vision of what the world would look like if the
edges came to the centre. It is not only a platform for many
struggling artist, but also a unique opportunity for you to make a
change by sponsoring an artist who holds the spark but lacks the
necessary fuel to fulfill their ambitions. Together, we can learn
their stories, connect with their artwork, and ignite the fire to cast
light where it is needed the most, in your very own Artful Communities.
"Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes
visible." -Paul Klee
