GTC : Spirit Art MicroGallery
An art card deck celebrating the spirit of the inspired creative imagination. Spirit art explores the creativity at the heart of the human, a sacred expression sharing an ecology of worlds, entities, beings, landscapes and experiences from the more-than-human world. Spirit art crosses over times and places, it is a thread that weaves through the collective history of all human cultures. It links together interconnected art genres including fantastic art, indigenous art, fantasy art, spiritual art, shamanic art, visionary art, entheo art, magical realism, imaginal realism, and surrealism.

Individual cards may grace altars, mantles, fridges and lockers as objects of beauty and ritual tools. Sets of cards can be organized into ‘micro-galleries’ for displays on walls, workspaces and gallery installations. A full deck of cards may be used an as oracle connecting to a diversity of divinatory systems. The project is an art culture community building initiative intending to inspire the collective evolution of conscious creative process while promoting art and artists worldwide. This non-profit, limited edition gaming system reflects the emergence of planetary culture.

Art is Spirit.

As hundreds gathered for the recent Art Spirit Now event in Portland (May 22nd 2009), it was evident that the Spirit of the Art was calling everyone together with a fresh energy of excitement and passionate anticipation. Here a fresh dream was being forged, one that seemed to usher in a new era for art, culture and community. People flocked from all corners of west Coast to answer the call of Spirit in Action, coming together to celebrate the Northwest Coast visionary renaissance.

At the Heart of the event presented by Elliot and Beloved Productions were three artists whose signature is a refined approach to bridging Art and Spirit, bringing a vision of art in the past mostly relegated to art parties and festival cultures into the growing gallery world. That night, along with host of artists and musicians, David Heskin, Eric Nez and Aloria Weaver shared a vitalizing energy with the NorthWest Coast.

The line into the event stretched for blocks before the doors even opened. Many had come to share in the ever splendored presence of Alex and Allyson Grey along with their magical ally Mz. Imani. By the time their talk started the venue was shining with a thousand twinkling eyes full of inspired reverence for this incredible team of visionaries. After the talk they did an incredible live painting performance deep into the night. Together they sharing an expanse of kind light in a presence which entranced the crowd and lit up the future with the glow of possibility.
