Mission Statement
The Mystic Arts Foundation (“MAF”) is an organizational platform established to support and develop artistic works and pieces which provide experiences and environments that are conducive to personal transformation. MAF, a California corporation, is an IRS-qualified 501c(3) non-profit organization, which offers legal organization, structure, full-service turn-key administrative services, and financial support for transformative artists and their projects. A primary purpose of MAF is to allow artists to play in their zone of genius and do what they do best – which is to create art … without being encumbered by many of the organizational, administrative, and fundraising hurdles of executing such important projects. The MAF structure also provides contributors and grant providers full transparency, governance, and reporting to support their contribution/grant mission and serves to match benefactors of such artworks to well-vetted, managed, and operating artists and their projects. MAF, born out of its inaugural project – the Mystic Flyer Art Car, has been established and formed as a tax-deductible non-profit organization in order to effectively and efficiently solicit contributions and grants, creating a vibrant hub of creativity for transformative and immersive art experiences. At first, it was named Mystic Flyer Arts Foundation, however, within a few months it became clear that our mission was much larger than the mutant vehicle project that inspired its formation, and “Flyer” was dropped from public-facing written materials and our name legally changed. Mystic Arts Foundation was born, though you may still find Mystic Flyer Arts Foundation in some nonprofit records. The Board of Directors will primarily focus on selecting and supporting best-in-class artists that have the drive and vision for creating works with the ability to transform an individual’s experience and consciousness. MAF will support a diverse group of artists and art projects including the development of artistic emerging technologies, art cars, and other portable immersive exhibits which can be displayed and experienced in various formats. Artists that are supported by MAF will have access to an extended network of constituents, supporters, and thought leaders as resources for both developing and then displaying their art. Mission It is the mission, duty, and purpose of The Mystic Arts Foundation (MAF) to bring interactive and immersive art experiences to the public in the United States and beyond. MAF provides mobile and portable art platforms as an educational showcase for graphic artists, LED lighting artists, technology artists, music/sound artists, and more. We provide opportunities for learning about the arts and the creation of new art in all settings through workshops…whether we are working on new technologies or art in our warehouse facilities between events or at events open to the general public. Education MAF provides education in the arts as they relate to the current artists we are working with. Artists are invited to participate with the understanding that they will also provide live, interactive, or recorded education on how the particular art is conceived and developed from the inception of the idea to the completion of the art for display and interaction with the general public. Programs for Volunteers At times, per the discretion of the board of directors, we may provide internships or volunteer opportunities that will provide a pathway for involvement in art development and outreach activities and programs in order to have a greater impact on educating the public and introducing new art, artists, and technologies. Some of the activities that volunteers may be involved in our basic education on topics such as graphic design, painting, lighting design, visual perspectives, sound technologies, digital music creation, etc. . Such activities shall always be free of charge to participants and will not include compensation to the volunteers. Multimedia It is our goal to bring awareness to interactive and immersive art from every medium possible and this does not exclude documentaries and photos of our activities, projects, programs, and expeditions. All programs and art projects will be available to the public through displays at festivals, events, and other public venues.
About This Cause
Providing financial and educational support for artists and those who may not see themselves as artists that leads to the creation of new large-scale, immersive, interactive, and experiential work holistically creates the opportunity for transformation for both the makers and the participants who interact with those works. Personal growth is directly linked to one's ability to express themselves through creativity and art has the power to create meaning, joy, and wonder for all throughout the process. The importance of filling this need for America and beyond cannot be overstated as we have seen funding for the Arts suffer in recent years for a variety of reasons. When we support individuals in the process of learning how to create, in creating new work, and strategies and opportunities for sharing that work we are inviting a whole range of positive benefits for everyone involved. Improving the quality of life for all by encouraging positive transformation through art and technology drives Mystic Arts Foundation towards meeting this need by identifying and creating new workspaces, providing new tools and fabrication methodologies, exploring new ways of collaborating, and bringing people together with respect, dignity, and love.
