Help Fund the AeroSoul Movement
Fellow Community Members,
The toxic violence impacting our communities must cease. Now is the time for us to come together around creative, broad-based solutions to counter the violence that afflicts our youth. AeroSoul calls the Bay Area to action, requesting your support as we actively promote non-violence and youth empowerment through Art and Hip Hop culture. AeroSoul, founded in 1999, is an institution created to foster community enlightenment in the Bay Area and other struggling communities of color. Our mission is to promote positive youth development through the use of Arts and Culture with an emphasis on the Black/African contribution in Spray Can History.
As an educational institution we believe that creative opportunity for expression and community building will keep youth safe and allow them to grow and prosper. We firmly believe that the visual surroundings of youth directly shape their thinking as well as their behavior. Aerosol Art murals have been proven to help in the creation of positive environments that not only beautify the community but also help prevent self-destructive life styles.
In July, 2012 Professional Artist and educators will demonstrate their commitment to building local solutions for violence prevention through a series of art and cultural events throughout the summer. Central to these activities is AeroSoul 3, an International African Diaspora Spray-Can Art Exhibit and conference that will launch the 6month-long schedule of events ending in February 2013. AeroSoul 3 is the third such conference celebrating HipHops rich spray can art cultural traditions and collective Social Action. Black/African icons of the Aerosol Art movement from across the globe will come together to promote the essence of our culture and empowerment of youth. Participating artists will demonstrate the creative benefits of the art form, including how it is a means to address many of the social ills facing our community, as well as a tool for collective empowerment and cultural liberation. Further details and an Events schedule are provided in the attached Press Release.
AeroSoul is a grass roots institution made up of professional Artist and educators committed to creating solutions conducive to positive growth amongst young people. We are an independent cultural institution that relies on the financial support of the community and other visionaries who share our conviction to make change possible and accessible to young people through the arts. Community problems require community solutions; your support is paramount to our success. Together we can accomplish peace.
