MISSION
To encourage exploration of the
imagination and promote appreciation for the creative process
independent of results.
To nurture self-esteem and confidence,
generate motivation and passion, and stimulate the healing of
emotional and psychic wounds by creating opportunities for artists
to share with others through personal expression.
To build a community of mutual
support among self-taught and self-motivated artists precluded
by circumstances of poverty or unique mental conditions from
formal training or significant exposure to fine art as defined
by cultural bias.
To establish an alternative to
art built upon layers of academic tradition and affirm the value
of pure creative vision.
