The Vision
To establish the world’s first truly global cultural center presenting the
artistic genius found everywhere on Earth,
To bring together the world’s diverse cultures to explore the infinite potential for peaceful human achievement through the arts,
To reveal the common bond uniting the human family,
To inspire people from every nation on Earth to embrace the creative spirit as the vital link that connects man to his fellow man… a spirit which is the essence within all humankind that has the capacity to change the world.
This is an unparalleled time in human history. We are the first generation ever to see our small planet from space and to understand the vast implications of that incredible sight: One small home for all the Earth's People!
Imagine a language through which people of all nations can communicate… a universal tongue that enables humanity to rise above political and philosophical differences…a force so powerful that it binds humankind through a common energy, bringing us closer to World Peace.
Art is that Universal Language!
Can Art Promote Peace?
ART IS A FORMIDABLE TOOL OF DIPLOMACY - “The arts are the human face of a nation. Whatever the bilateral, political, military or economical concerns between countries, cultural communications cannot help but create an improved climate of trust and friendship, because the arts in all their myriad forms express the humanity common to all people
To say the obvious, culture is the universal prism. Art is the memory of our past, the measure of our times, the inspiration of our future. lt conveys images of national mood and spirit, and, in fascinating ways, it mirrors a nation's strengths and weaknesses. Art in its broadest context is a modem tool of diplomacy, proving enormously effective in bringing out the differences that separate nations, and in revealing the humanistic factors that bind all people together. Art in its diverse forms provides the seed of true understanding, contributing to world peace."
