FOSTERING IMAGINATIVE ARTISTS SINCE 1961

“The artist should be a creator, a transformer linked to the inner spirit who, with skill and imagination, constructs a creation which embodies or symbolizes a significant human value in a way which never existed before;

to enhance, illuminate and perpetuate what is best in human values.”

“What is termed ‘art of imagination’ portrays the dramas which are the human conditions, exploring and expressing mysteries so as to make them comprehensible.”

“…and the chief contribution that artists of the imagination can make is their power to enlarge the range of emotions which affect all of us, enriching psychic, metaphysical, and spiritual values, and the appreciation of the beauties of the physical world which expand delight in existence and enhance self-realization.”
