A New Era of Art
It’s good news for creators. It’s a new renaissance.. of art and innovation… of awakening and beauty.
Turn off the negative news and politics… put your ear to the ground of the creative world, and hear the groundswell of artists dancing to their own beat. Tune your psyche to the ethers and catch the waves of inspiration everywhere to be found.
We are in the beginning of a new age of art where creativity and innovation will again lead the way. We are living history in the making and some future day humankind will study this period as one of upheaval and turmoil, giving way to art, compassion, creativity, and expanded consciousness.
“This New Renaissance of the 21st Century includes you and your art. We are living history in the making. Your creativity is needed. Your art matters.”

The Italian Renaissance at a Glance
The Italian Renaissance began as an artistic movement in Florence, Italy between the 14th and 17th Centuries AD.[1]https://www.history.com/topics/renaissance/italian-renaissance
Noted Renaissance professor and author, Ian Goldin places the heart of the past Renaissance dates as 1450-1550 AD in his richly informative book, Age of Discovery: Navigating the Risks and Rewards of Our New Renaissance.
That European Renaissance lifted the world from the darkness of the early Middle Ages to a time of greater creativity, intellectual inquiry, growth and prosperity. The seeds of this period of rebirth were planted in the soil of the Dark Ages, and blossomed to flourishing over the next 300 years.[2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance
“We are in a New Renaissance… an awakening… a quickening of consciousness and an urge to create.”

An Awakening of Consciousness
The Renaissance was an awakening of consciousness.
People were awakening to higher impulses of creativity and inquiry, which manifested in greater attention on — and appreciation for — beauty and the arts.
This period of awakening, escorted the western world into the Age of Enlightenment, also called the Age of Reason, between 1600-1800 AD. Every area of society was affected, in particular, by innovations in art, science, politics, and philosophy. Old systems and ways of thinking were failing and replaced by new ones.
Hmmm… sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
It’s happening again through the pain and conflict of these transitional times. We’re in another awakening of consciousness and societal transformation, a new renaissance precipitating a new era of human evolution.
“Every area of renaissance has come out of new freedoms for peoples. The coming renaissance will be greater than any other in history, for this time, all the peoples of the earth will share in it.”
~Pearl S. Buck, American writer, novelist, Pulitzer Prize winner, 1892-1973
A Time for Growth
The advent of the printing press around 1439, began the ascent into greater access to knowledge through books and reading for the masses. Imagine a time where people are hungry for books and access to knowledge for self development, and a time where there’s great societal upheaval
Sounds a lot like today’s proliferation of easily accessible content online. Only today it’s vastly easier and more accessible.
All growth comes through struggle and strife. Turmoil and chaos ever precede greater order.
“This is a period of momentous change… it’s a period of transformation… a period where we will reinterpret our relationship with the world, just like the Renaissance.”
~Ian Goldin, South African Oxford professor, author, b.1955
