Art as Adventure

Adventure is a moment removed from the continuum of life. It is rocketing into space, running into the woods, and jumping into the abyss. Straying from the desired course. And yet the adventure, like the dream, isn't only desired, it is required. It is a voyage both into and outside of life, in order to keep the continuum intact.

Art is an adventure. It removes you from the world while embedding you in it. It focuses you on a piece of existence in order to grasp all of it. It unites you with what is common, and connects you to what is not. It transports you to the space between what is and what can be. And in that space, there is time to think, to feel, and to live.

We believe in the adventure of art. We believe in enhancing that adventure for supporters, and creating the adventure for newcomers. We believe in thanking the artists that create that adventure, and giving them the space to share it. We believe in the organization of these voices into a local, national, and worldwide network.

We believe that we can build a new world. A world of art. A world of adventure. We, the adventurers.
