Holonic Art Show at CorkStop Studios

On Saturday September 27th, we get to see the first show from the Holonic Art Movement. The Holonic Art Movement was created with the vision of bringing artists together by creating collaborative work either in the form of a shared canvas that travels from artist to artist, or by giving a number of panels or canvas's to artists around the world with a single unifying concept in mind - then reeling them in, after many months and mounting and hanging them as one piece. The movement was founded by Pacha and you can go to the web site to find out more.

"The idea of bringing artists together was the first and only mission I had when I started the Holonic Art Movement in the beginning of 2006. But soon after, the goal of creating an art community I could interact with was joined by the much bigger and more important vision of making this world a better place by helping people in need, one painting at a time." Pacha - founder.

The proceeds of the first show will be donated to SONRISA Colombia, a private organization that helps homeless children in Colombia. I’ve visited Colombia twice (in 2000 and 2005) and somehow I feel deeply connected to that country. Sonrisa is run by only a few dedicated people. The donated money will help the children directly: clothing, shoes, food, school books and uniforms, school fees. Because it is such a small organization, the money isn’t “wasted” on bureaucracy. Money goes a long way in Colombia ($100 take care of one child for one year, including meals, uniforms and school fees), so it is a perfect selection for the first donation.


Check back with the CorkStop website for details as we get closer to the date!
