The Heart of Art

Our world has changed in a way that has never occurred in my lifetime. We have broken in so many ways and need healing. 

Throughout my entire life the strongest healing modality I’ve experienced, other than my mind, is ART. Creative expression of every kind— music, theater, dance, painting, television, film, multimedia, writing, poetry, performance art, and every other genre we know of— allows for catharsis and release of negative emotion such as none other.

Will you join me in a global healing project? I know some of you are passionate about the arts. I’d like to create a book that features essays of a peak experience you have had through art. Or, a story about a way you believed your creative expressions healed others.

Let’s share our collective voices! Let’s talk about “Following Your Heart in Art.”

Will you contribute? I want to have about 30-50 stories in the book. You do not have to be a writer, and your story does not have to be a long one. If you feel uncomfortable writing, ask a friend to help you explain the story— but email me with that story.

We’ll publish the book through a new company called C3, Creative Citizens Collaborative. 100% of the proceeds will go to support artists and art collectives around the world. 

Will you participate in this? Email me your story at [email protected]. I need all stories before October 16 for you to qualify for a cash prize.

A panel of C3 judges will be awarding cash prizes to the top three essays. The criterion for the cash prize winners is about the strength of your message, not about your writing skills.
