"Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us
and invites us into its rhythm, it calls us to feel, think, and act beautifully
in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful." John O'Donohue(visit his memoriam page, here)

The arts have the power to touch the heart, and the potential to heal and empower.
The Global Arts Collective celebrates and promotes awareness of the wealth to be found in all aspects of our culture and heritage, while supporting ongoing efforts that promote peace, health and sustainability.
Today, we feel the incredible power of communication technology in our lives. A balance is needed, and this is where arts practitioners have so much to offer.
The Global Arts Collective invites musicians, artists, actors, writers, filmmakers, educators, business representatives, community and government leaders to work together, in the spirit of friendship, toward creating solutions for the restoration of healthy ecosystems, economic security, cultural conservation, and stronger communities through a participatory culture that nourishes and sustains the global village.
Objective
Together we will restore our environment, our civil liberties, our peace of mind, our health, and the global commons of earth, air and water, that belong to all of us.
The Global Arts Collective is dedicated to promoting those values that help us rise above our differences and celebrate our strengths.
By forming symbiotic relationships, we contribute to a thriving community life.
The Collective will enhance the power of collective intelligence through partnerships with like-minded individuals and organizations.
"Don't wait for the leaders, be the leaders." ~ Mother Teresa
