And we must constantly encourage ourselves and each other to attempt the heretical actions that our dreams imply, and so many of our old ideas disparage.
~ Audre Lorde

Living Artist Project Mission Statement

To actualize these beliefs, Living Artist Project sponsors, promotes, nurtures and connects artists from diverse cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, abilities, education levels and genders to participate in a progressive vision of artistic collaboration, focused on enriching society, expanding perspectives and generating cooperation in public spaces around the arts,culture and health.
