Our Three Point Goal
June 6, 2017
1.
To develop,
learn, implement, teach recycling habits and principles.
We shall show the world or Cebu how we keep all our
recyclables neat and organized and make them actual raw
materials for our artwork. As a corollary - our artists
will take a long hard look at the recyclables on hand
and plan out where they can be used in their work
thereby making these recyclable materials into wealth
rather than trash. When our artwork succeed - everybody
we touch could be motivated to do as we do. Turn trash
into gold. There is already online a wealth of ideas on
how to use recycclables. These we will not hesitate to
copy and turn into actual items that can be part of our
curriculum to teach
2. To
expand economic activity and the put a dent on the gap
between rich and poor:
By creating a new art form and expand to a great degree
the boundaries of arts and crafts that can be
appreciated and turned to assets of high monetary value.
And by doing so, provide a pathway for money to go from
the rich (and not so rich) lovers of beautiful works to
the very poor ( and the not so poor) artists and
artisans. In short a way for money to flow from the rich
to the poor by creating a new genre, something of value
that wasn't there before. The new artworks. We know
we've succeeded when there will be a great demand for
these new creations so that it even shows a huge blip on
our provinvial GDP scores. Yes - add the activity to the
economic wheel.
We intend to promote these works so that they are
perceived as valuable not only by those who would use
them but also make them as investment articles that
those with money would get them for. Much like paintings
of masters, precious jewelry, and other arts and crafts
creations have become repositories of wealth. We have a
long way to go here - but we've made a promising start.
We will know that when the likes of Augusto Go,
LLlhuilier, Henry Sy start buying our paintings for a
good sum of cash.
3. To
tap the latent and hidden potential of a vast number of
misfits in our world.
These include the drug addicts rich or poor who have
turned their backs on the current system for lack of
anything motivating or interesting in the current world
and have turned to drugs as stimulant. In our group of
10 right now we have 4 former addicts who were
unemployed and who turned out to be among the most
creative and artistic. We intend to find out if this is
the same outside. We shall work with rehab centers and
jails teaching them what we've learned and providing
them with a way to market their artwork through a
central foundation.
To the millions of folks who live in slum areas where
trassh is for the picking - we shall show how fast (in
my mind for now) landfills can be cleaned when people
clean up, organize and store reccyclables for art work.
We'll teach and show them how to work together and help
each other lift themselves up from misery and live in
relative comfort even right where they are. (I'll show
them how to make relatively long lasting tiny houses
made of cardborad boxes.
