Artist Way
New York, New York,
United States
 Introduction
It is the natural state of the human being to cohabitate in a tribe, where resources and time are solidly recognized community possessions, and access to those things are not defined as a right, but as inevitability in our practice. Rarely in the modern world is this way of living open and advertised as an option to any given member of society. Often times, any beginning to such idea is quashed and written off as a failed convention of times passed.
It is our intention to build upon a modern platform for a socialized residence for talented artists, who seek constant exposure to many art forms and ideas on a day-to-day basis.
Under these conditions, where an individual’s choice to enter a communal pact for success is available, and that group is built upon clear communication- we believe success can be achieved through understanding and hard work.
Collective Values
Open Communication- honesty is the key to any sort of successful relationship. The implementation of this value is chief among all others, as we can never truly know one another unless we share that which drives us to move forward and seek companionship in one another.
The Pursuit of Truth- no idea that can possibly conceived is a universal truth. Our concept of truth is in constant flux. That being said, the desire and ability to believe, is a most admirable pursuit of a true and open heart. Our collective will always support such pursuits.
Mutual Inspiration- while different individuals find inspiration in varied avenues, we as a collective find that the best environment for this end is to be surrounded by committed, thoughtful and enlightened people. As a whole, we seek to open new and unique avenues within the mind.
Physicality of the Divine- whatever religious or lack or religious beliefs different individuals within the collective may choose to subscribe to, collectively we believe that all beings are capable of divine acts of compassion and kindness. In practicing this idea of community, we as a collective hope to emulate the most sublime idea of that divinity within our everyday lives.
