The Power Of Art And The Artist

June 15, 2008 - PRLog -- THE POWER OF ART & THE ARTIST

Laguna Beach, CA – TIMOTCA (The International Museum of Twenty-first Century Arts) announces a five-year art-publishing program to publish the works of over 250 artists representing their countries and cultures in one of the most significant art and humanitarian projects of the 21st century.
    
TIMOTCA, a 501 (c) (3), nonprofit, educational & Charitable Corporation founded in 1980, was established to realize the belief that art is a paradigm for peace while transcending politics and working to serve as a catalyst for peace and cultural understanding through the universal language of art.

TIMOTCA’s ultimate goal is to establish the worlds first global Cultural Centre celebrating the rich and extraordinarily diverse cultures of all countries and cultures of the world.  TIMOTCA is currently working on the development of the TIMOTCA Cultural Centre complex in partnership with Aquaterra Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Funding for the development and construction of the TIMOTCA Center and for its ongoing exhibitions and efforts to promote peace and cultural understanding through art will be accomplished partly throughTIMOTCA memberships which are accompanied with Limited Editions of the original paintings contributed to the TIMOTCA project by the artists officially nominated by their country’s offical cultural representative and selected by TIMOTCA to represent his or her country.

To date, over 60 countries have accepted TIMOTCA’s invitation to participate in this global project and 47 are currently represented in the “Art Beyond Borders” traveling exhibition which premiered at the United Nations under the sponsorship of UNESCO
Each artist was nominated by their country’s official cultural representative and selected by TIMOTCA to represent his or her country.

Many TIMOTCA artists are renowned worldwide and some are perhaps yet unknown outside their country, but nonetheless are their country’s National Treasures.  All TIMOTCA artists are recognized as the most significant creative minds of our time – brought together for the first time in history… brought together as a force for good to help change the world.  

Once and only once will TIMOTCA publish these artists’ Limited Editions of 300 Fine Art Prints and a Limited Edition of 5000 Acrylic Plaques.  These Limited Edition Prints and Acrylic Plaques are only available to members of TIMOTCA’s Founding Cirlcle of Angels “Ambassador’s Circle” members ($3000) and “Contriburtor Circle” members ($300).  Whether from Haiti, Greece, France, Italy or the United States, each TIMOTCA artist is on the same international stage for the TIMOTCA project and each work of art will be a collector’s dream.

Un-like any other publishing program, a generous portion of each membership will contribute to the realization of the TIMOTCA Cultural Centre and Peace Monument.

Through the successful membership campaign, over $400,000,000 will have been contributed to the development and construction fund for the TIMOTCA Centre and,  $100,000 will be donated to a children’s charity in the country of each artist with a total of $30,000,000 having been donated to children’s charities around the world.

TIMOTCA, scheduling the publishing of Limited Edition Fine Art Prints of five artists per month over the next five years has selected Harvest Productions, LTD. of Anaheim Hills, California as the exclusive printer for the project.  

The first five artists are:  M.A. Taraghijah representing Iran, Tsibi Geva representing Israel, Olga Bulgakova representing Russia, Tadanori Yokoo representing Japan and Dan Namingha representing the American Indians of the United States of America.
