Featured Art At The Action Forum: YellowWoods Art And The Spier Arts Trust
The Spier Arts Trust's academy offers a three-year full time employment-based training in mosaic and ceramic applied arts. Apprentices graduate as highly skilled journeymen, encouraged to practice their craft to ultimately achieve master craftsman status.
In this context, “The Great Re-Set” is indeed an apt theme for the Resnick Aspen Action Forum. The Re-Set requires us to think differently, to imagine ourselves in other’s shoes, to introspect deeply and challenge our most deeply held beliefs about ourselves and the world as we see it.
At the Spier Arts Trust we have a passionate belief that the creative arts has a unique and formidable ability to provoke the kind of reflection and “seeing” required by the “Great Re-Set”. The arts enable us to be moved beyond the confines of rational verbal exchange and to experience in profound emotional and spiritual dimensions.
We hope that the Action Forum enjoys and is moved in some way by the works that we have chosen to share.
