AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Call for artists (2D, 3D and video) who consider Rumi in their concept and or their work. "Kopru, Ruh ~ Bridge to the Soul" is an intercultural collaborative online and traveling brick and mortar art exhibition that brings together artists from across cultures. In March 2013, Art 4 All People, the brick and mortar gallery space of AY Atelier, orchestrated a sacred collaborative experience, which embodied the search for meaning in life. The exhibit Bridge to the Soul is a social sculpture, where ART the artist, the participant, and the natural world unify and become embedded within the divine matrix of all life.

This meaningful exhibit, which is going to grow and transform into global pilgrimage both is called Kopru, Ruh ~ Bridge to the Soul."

With the life and poetry of 13th century mystic Rumi as an inspiration, the intention for the project is to shift the world's attention towards Love.

Why?
Art is a vehicle of beauty, healing, transformation and social change. Art builds bridges between cultures and creates dialogue about the transformative power of art as a means to heal - on the individual, community and global level. By fostering and facilitating connections between cultures, young and adult artists will become more aware of the world, that creativity, when shared, creates transformation and a new ways of seeing/being.

Vision
We will have a traveling gallery exhibition, creative workshops, and artist talks. In addition, we will highlight these ongoing workshops and events on the web through social media.
