ART: American Renaissance for the Twenty-First Century
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- ART (American Renaissance for the Twenty-first Century) is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit educational foundation dedicated to a rebirth of beauty and life-affirming values in all of the fine arts.
- Incorporated in 1992, the foundation has established a consistent track record for championing only the highest quality contemporary art through art exhibits, publications, and performances of music, dance, literature, poetry and drama. ART is unique among arts and aesthetic organizations in that it not only supports beautiful, technically superlative contemporary art but also preserves and advances Western-heritage philosophy based in humanistic values, reason and individualism that originated in ancient Greece, carried forward through the European Renaissance and the Enlightenment, and culminated in the formation of the United States of America.
- Therefore, ideational content is as important as external excellence of form in our assessment and decisions as to which contemporary artists we will select and support.
