🌟 Community Project - The War on Beauty (Oct 2025) 🕊️
Beauty is at the core of all humanity. Beauty and truth is what realists strive for and is a part of our daily practice and lives. Beauty is under attack in our modern world. Join me in the fight against the intentional uglification of art & culture and bring back the standard of beauty in art and in our world.
The goals of this group project are:
- To beautify our communities with works of art
- To elevate our minds and spirits with beautiful thoughts, actions and words
- To shine a light on and counter all the ugliness in your world that brings down the human spirit
At the end of this month, the best works will be selected for an online group exhibition and featured on my website and YouTube channel. 🖼️🎥
📌 All info, posts, comments, resources, and questions go in this thread. 👇
