The Creators Project

The Creators Project is a new network dedicated to the celebration of creativity and culture across media, and around the world. At a time in the history of the arts where digital technologies have revolutionized distribution, democratized access, and completely re-imagined the scope and scale with which an artist can create a vision and reach an audience, The Creators Project is a completely new kind of arts and culture channel for a completely new kind of world.

The Creators Project has two mandates: on one hand it’s a modern day media channel that we will continually identify and celebrate the work of visionary artists wherever they are. On the other hand it is also a content creation studio, an arts foundation of sorts that will facilitate the production and dissemination of new work with these artists and their collaborators.

The distribution of the content takes place here, at www.thecreatorsproject.com, via a variety of other media including print, television and mobile, and, importantly, also through a series of exhibition events and performances that will roll-out in different urban centers around the world the summer of 2010 and beyond. The Creators Events series begins this June in New York City with a collection of curated artworks and installations, screenings, a panel discussion and dozens of performances by creators from all over the world. The series then moves to London, Sao Paulo, and Seoul, and culminates in Beijing with a huge 3-day Creators exposition in September.

In a lot of different ways, the last decade really belonged to old narratives from the Twentieth Century. Launching now, in 2010, The Creators Project aims at being nothing less than the first spark of creativity that gives life to the hopes and aspirations of the Twenty-First Century.

Sounds like a worthy endeavor, so a bit of constructive criticism: tone down the arrogance of "completely reimagined...completley new kind of...for a completely new world." And WAY down from being the "first spark" to practically save the world.

Kinda ironic, then, that with all the genious at work nobody proofed the post to catch it from being repeated.

Sincere best wishes for success, but probably better chance being less condescending (and accurate).

Just came back from checking your site - change the above statement to - "clearly a worthy endeavor"...nice!
