So if you're at this site, you've probably heard the rumor already about our dream to set sail on a long-term social art project. This blog is meant to share the process with you because we are on this venture to enjoy the journey, not just the destinations. As we are in the planning stages please feel free to comment, post, and ask questions. We look forward to this being a wide-reaching process that will spawn creativity, personal inspirations, and community engagement.
The first exciting news to share: we were accepted to the School of Visual Arts National Conference on Liberal Arts and the Education of Artists taking place at the end of October in NYC. Below is our proposal, an introduction to this our concept:

Proposal
On the sails of creativity and interpersonal connection, an international team of artists created a social project using art as a wide-reaching social and economic tool. ARTship proposes to circumnavigate the world, a sailing trip to connect waves of networks. They will share an international perspective in local contexts to revitalize urban port areas with specified community art projects. Using performance, visual and communicative arts, the trip is a multi-dimensional art form designated for community organizing. The team intends to initiate art projects in prearranged cities, working with divisional organizations in order to have a creative start, sustainable goal, and documented evolution.
Sailing into this venture, it will be a shared experience amongst the artistic members and engaged locals. The ultimate goal of community participation and visualized initiatives will naturally evolve- with the plan that local leaders will further manage these projects. The trip will be filmed and documented for hindsight of learning and communication.
Although this project is in the planning stages, we are looking consistently for further development and idea exchange. This group experience is a service outreach to all the networks we know and grow to know. We want to think outside the box, expand, and challenge ourselves, and encourage others to do the same, to contribute ideas and energy towards improving our own communities.
We hope to see you on the water (or this virtual network) soon!
Signing out for now ARTship team
