There is a lot happening in the world. Lots to get caught up in, lot of emotions, politics, climate, the list goes on and on. Drawing on Earth commitment to Art and Creativity transcends much of the things that we get caught up in. The Arts by nature and by science relaxes our central nervous system. Being creative requires so much real-time awareness that other parts of the brain go quiet, the to-do-lists and ego center are some of the main places.
Art and Youth maybe one of the most important things for the future.
Here is our Beliefs in our Executive Summary
• We believe that creativity is a natural renewable energy that when exercised and practiced during youth empowers one to experience an inner resource that is sustainable, long term, and available in all aspects of one’s life.
• We believe that kids who are nurtured creatively grow up ready and able to more effectively interact with the world, connect to the environment, integrate with technology, and understand the bigger picture.
• We believe that art is not just a pretty picture but also a way of being creative that will help to solve some of the world’s problems.
• We believe that creativity crosses race, economic, gender, and religious boundaries and is the glue that brings communities together that heals personal and collective wounds.
• We believe people connected to their creativity consume less, are more comfortable with what they have, are able to generate more of what they want and need, are better at taking care of themselves, are able to help others with their generosity.
• We believe that creativity continues to be important later in careers and business, partnership and marriage, community engagement, becoming an elder, and being curious about the end of ones life.
