ONE ART ONE SPIRIT ARTIST STATEMENT

There is an artist in everyone. Everyone is an artist! We just need to feel safe and brave enough to give ourselves permission to access and share our creativity.

Be Inspired, Be Creative, Accept Ourselves, and Enjoy!

This is an unusual art exhibition for CRS because none of the participating artists are so-called “Professional Visual Artists.”

We wanted more people to change their mindset and free themselves of limitations to wake up the artists within them since it is FUN and good for our hearts. We kept experiencing that when we are genuinely enjoying what we love, a ripple of happiness spreads and bcomes amplified. So we have decided to show our art in public as it is.

At the reception, One Note One Spirit, our sister group, will create a fun and safe space for everyone who attends to play music. We hope this show will encourage people to be creative and happy by enjoying making art and music!
