Background
In emerging art cities and developing countries(Bogotá, Detroit, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tel Aviv, Mumbai, Shanghai, Buenos Aires and many more), one can find artists and designers that have a very important discourse, a speech they have developed through years of passion, perseverance and concentration. Most of the times, in order for their work to be known, they have to immigrate to art capitals and leave their reality behind.
In terms of traveling, these cities are somehow tainted as dangerous and non tourist cities. Nevertheless, one can find a growing cultural scene that involves young audiences creating and innovating, and a great sense of community and sustainability.
The problem: There is little to no promotion or

In this case, the model´s purpose is to create those innovate experiences through culture and the arts.

Method 2:
Big name artists Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat both started out as graffiti artists. Haring kept his characteristic marker drawings in his rise to fame, while Basquiat went the modern art route, ignoring his beginnings. Both artists would end up selling their art for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Today, both graffiti and street art is used by ad companies, and as author Claudia Walde recognizes, “Ad agencies have long recognized the potential in harnessing authentic aspects of street culture to create cutting-edge campaigns…” (Walde, 6). Today, street art is also carried directly to consumers through the internet, particularly social media. With platforms like Instagram, and plenty of people looking for an artsy snap, pieces can be posted all over the internet, with very little involvement from the actual artist. It seems that no matter what the differing opinions are, people (particularly younger generations) subconsciously see the art for what it is. Street art’s attractiveness to young people ties back into the idea that street art is intriguing because of its spontaneity and apparent
Around the world, communities carve statues, paint pictures, or assemble and organize items, all of which are ultimately choreographed reflections of who they are. What form the art takes is in the eye of the artist as much as it is in the eye of the beholder. Art incorporates pride – pride of awareness, of authenticity, of individuality, of message, of authorship, the list goes on and on. However, it is universally true is that the underlying message will withstand the test of time. As such, Art has been a part of humanity for thousands of years. People have been viewing, discussing, comparing, analyzing, and fighting over art for centuries. What changes from time to time, however, is the role that art often plays within communities and society. Sometimes art is important for communicating emotions and reinforcing messages and while other times it is a reminder of where we came from. Art’s role in society changes from time to time. Of the many things art means to a community, it also provides a means for society: i) to take pride in culture and history, ii) to communicate messages and emotional catalysts, and iii) to learn.
Want to see an ever-expanding city of art, culture, and academics? Walk through streets upon streets of local art? Explore cultural, historical, and art museums?
In the quiet city of Sebring, the simple buildings contain an explosion of ideas and potential. Despite what others might think, this place has provided a lot of encouragement for artistic abilities such as, a muse, a canvas, and especially opportunities. Due to the citizens’ interest for art, the community finds a way to be on common ground. For this reason, people anticipate new artwork created by the young generation of ambitious artists.
Sixthly, artists are able to explore, interpret and reinterpret the city’s heritage in dynamic ways.
I am enchanted by culture and had not explored this interest beyond school; that was, until living and learning in New York City. Over the course of the last summer, I visited museums and art studios countless times, absorbing how art can be brilliant translations and statements about society and human beings. Consider the diversity of the world and how culture shapes the art of its peoples; certainly, cultural values influence art, and diverse perspectives influence my work.
What would you do to make your city better? Art can make places better because it can help bring people together and it can also inspire people to create things. I believe that the government should pay for the sculpture to be in the town center because it can inspire people with ideas on how to make the city better, it can unify the city, it can give money to a good cause and it is something people can enjoy, even though the money the government gives to the art can be used for more important programs.
Over the duration of this trimester, we have been working on our projects. Well, some of us more vigilantly than others, but nevermind that. On the last day of April, Adam Charron and I visited the Gerald R. Ford museum in downtown Grand Rapids. A quiet, stoic building amongst the bustling metropolis that is GR, we found our visit to be nearly devoid of human life. After sucking the life from a quite expensive 16oz beverage from Biggby, we passed a bronze President Ford guarding the entrance, and made our way into the museum.
For years people have been developing their interactions with others that come from different backgrounds. With the help of today’s technology, different ideas can be shared with one another as it is easier to experience different cultures, religion, politics, etc. This concept closely links to the idea of globalization which, according to Manfred B. Steger, involves people who live in different parts of world who create connections and express their personal thoughts on a particular subject (Steger 15). An example of this connection is seen in the art world where large amounts of global artists share their unique styles with others. In using the art market, artists have the opportunity to display their work and possibly sell it. Not only can they do this locally but in terms of globalization, artworks can be shown out globally. Being able to display in other countries allows people to have global art in their local area bringing attention to the artist and the venue for future displays. Even so, there has been a decrease in the art market which makes it difficult for artists to sell their work for “a lot more art is shown than sold” (Bull 189). Malcolm Bull goes in depth with this fact as he explains that the art world is shifting from a cultural art market into an economy of attention. Using the data done by Clare McAndrew one can see the decline of the art market as the amount of “high-end sales” (McAndrew 26), such as auction, have declined and more private sales are
“Artists who innovate and challenge existing conventions have an effect on the artworld as profound as an earthquake- they change the shape as of the art landscape”.
Today’s modern world is often complex, colorful, noisy and fast-paced. When I am engaged in art, I frequently look for works that allow me to escape from my hectic lifestyle. Clean lines and use of space appeal to my senses and calm me. Sometimes, what is not stated says more than what is stated.
Kurt Vonnegut is a great place to start for this research as he understands the importance of making art in everyday life. One issue, however, is arts can make a life as well as a living. Arts communities are thriving centers of culture, where people flock to in order to see a spectacle, something out of their day to day routines. Lawrence Kansas is a spot for an artist to gather and collaborate on works, yet to what extent is this cared for by the governing body of Lawrence. Arts and Economic Prosperity Survey, a project from Americans for the Arts has selected Lawrence to view the economic activity which arts development and centers bring into the community. This project relies on surveys conducted by art centers on and off campus to understanding the question of ‘Why Lawrence?’. Allowing this survey into the community has shed a light on the development which is taking place and the advancement which

To further demonstrate the features of each programme listed in the table 1, I have reviewed the comments from their curators in the biennale’s catalogues. The third edition Shanghai Spirit in 2000 aimed at experimenting the potentials of contemporary art production in the social and cultural context of Shanghai (Hou, 2000), and the fourth edition Urban Creation in 2002
