Sister Cities

We cordially invite you to share in the spirit of giving. Give to your community by actively seeking out spaces an encouraging restoration. Urban redevelopment programs bring new life to post-industrial empty spaces. These spaces often have enormous character that brings history to life while being creatively inspiring. Find a patron, a philanthropist, a realty group of a relative who shares your passion for building an emphasis on arts in the community. Create jobs and programs for youths and adults. Tell your local leadership councils. It won’t belong before you pass by a newly renovated arts complex on your way home.

To Begin:

  • Find a qualified patron
  • Experience ARTISANworks
  • Awaken your imagination
  • Learn about the overall project
  • Arrange for a consultation

To Move Forward:

  • Choose a site
  • Develop a theme/tribute
  • Develop the first phase
  • Develop a self-funding plan
  • Attain 501(c)3 status

“These folks have stripped art of its pretense and in doing so have developed a new approach to art appreciation that is yearning for a wider application throughout the USA. How many economically-challenged communities, where buildings sit vacant for decades, would not benefit from a venture like this? What an imaginative world it would be if artwork were more readily available to the millions of Americans who realize that something’s missing from their lives but can’t put their finger on what it might be.”
