| Arts 4 |
|
The Arts 4 is first and foremost a Collective. We are a group of artists working together towards shared aims; sharing equipment, space, ideologies, and aesthetics; further signified by our increased collective intelligence, made possible by the cross-combination of multiple creative minds and disciplines, the cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches, and also due to the social richness and networking capacities of our members and friends.
As a non-profit organization, we provide advocacy for Artists of all kinds. We value the knowledge, creativity and unique experience each and every individual can bring to our Collective whole. We respect our community and treasure its support, striving to contribute and serve every chance that we get. The Arts 4 will provide a platform and sponsorship through which individuals and groups may hold events and execute their ideas. Learning, creating, having fun and helping each other are what we are about.
