BOHEMIARE... art with a social platform®

Vision statement: “A world where people use art to heal and connect.” Mission: Bohemiare increases accessible connections between people & nonprofits, enhancing messages with story-telling art Explanation: Bohemiare offers artwork that supports the missions of many nonprofits. Nonprofits accomplish more by combining art exhibitions with other activities at their events. The story-telling art increases attendance, encourages dialog among event attendees, and promotes understanding, tolerance, and support of important social issues. While art is an excellent communication tool, the traveling expenses and professional rental fees involved with exhibitions are usually cost prohibitive to nonprofits. So, Bohemiare makes traveling art exhibitions available for nonprofits’ events at little to no cost. Exhibitions are currently offered throughout the United States and throughout Umbria, the region of Italy surrounding Spoleto. With greater financial support and stability, Bohemiare will be able to transport its exhibitions at greater distance. Bohemiare features art with a social platform. It creates, produces, and conducts multimedia programs to promote understanding, tolerance, and support of people suffering from disabilities, economic risks, and insecurities of life. Using electronic communications, social networking, and other technology-based applications, participants in Bohemiare’s programs interact from the privacy of their own homes, nursing homes, hospitals, and institutions. People with social limitations are able to connect with family members, caregivers, medical professionals, and other interested participants internationally. The multimedia programs offer relief from isolation and expanding networks of support. Bohemiare envisions a world where people use art to connect and heal, to eliminate discrimination and to provide relief from suffering.
