HARMONY, 4’ x 8’, 32 encaustic-on-wood panels
The HARMONY project was originally
conceived as a way to engage a
community of artists in a collaborative
creative project.
32 encaustic artists
from all over the United States formed the
original community to bring HARMONY
into reality. This monumental art piece
will inspire an ever expanding community
celebrating the human spirit.
The Encaustic Art Institute, a New Mexico
Non Profit Art Corporation (www.eainm.
com) has embraced the vision with
its community of artists by purchasing
HARMONY and taking it to the larger
community by soliciting sponsorships
and organizing the fund-raising displays
in many cities.
Habitat for Humanity was chosen as the
ideal beneficiary of funds raised through
the HARMONY experience. Habitat for
Humanity seeks to eliminate poverty
housing and homelessness from the
world and to make decent shelter a
matter of conscience and action. Funds
raised by the HARMONY community are
donated to this noble cause.
The HARMONY project will tour eight major
cities using local and national sponsors,
local art galleries and museums to display
HARMONY in public spaces. Additional
art and auction items will be donated and
sold as part of the fund-raising effort and
community experience. Our goal is to
raise enough funds to construct a home
in each supporting community.
We invite you to become a part of this
great community and become a sponsor,
donate your art, time and heart, or just
experience the energy of community.
The first community will be Albuquerque/
Santa Fe, New Mexico with the following
efforts:
• Recruit sponsors from the design
and construction community
• Architects, building suppliers,
contractors, utilities, media, etc.
• Government agencies,
Non-Governmental
Organizations, museums, faithbased
organizations, etc.
• Determine public place for
HARMONY display and events
• Schedule and advertise fundraising
events including media
coverage and dates for community
fund-raising functions.
• Donate raised funds to Habitat
for Humanity in a media event.
