ART BALEA AZUL

NON PRO FIT. “ART FOR ALL. ART FOR EVERYTHING”

How We Got Started

Art Balea Azul, A.C. was established in 2013.

For more than seventeen years, Fernando Flores and Vanessa Landero have been working within the world of the arts and culture, recognizing that the service to the community and the climate change issues are very important. They decided to fund a non-profit in order to create art and cultural programs that also involved climate change issues, so ART BALEA AZUL was established.

Keeping in mind, the Hangzhou Declaration in 2013 made by UNESCO; “We reaffirm that culture should be considered to be a fundamental enabler of sustainability, being a source of meaning and energy, a wellspring of creativity and innovation, and a resource to address challenges and find appropriate solutions. The extraordinary power of culture to foster and enable truly sustainable development is especially evident when a people-centred and place-based approach is integrated into development programmes and peace-building initiatives.”

“ART FOR ALL AND ART FOR EVERYTHING” as Fernando said.

Programs

4 elements + human being.

The climate change.

ART BALEA AZUL had developed a program named four elements + Human being. The climate change.

A call for awareness-raising on how human activity cause climate change. Also, look for the prevailing need to change our consumption ways to take care of the environment. To talking about climate change we will use the four classic elements: EARTH, FIRE, AIR, WATER + HUMAN BEING.

This project includes a collection of paintings, drawings and stories; all of them linked under the central axis of climate change. It has a direct and objective social dynamic, consisting of giving workshops to different groups.

At the ART BALEA AZUL workshop we show an original drawing or a painting, talk about the picture, how it was made, and what it represents, then they make their own individually drawing or picture using the same subject than the original one.

To achieve a better working environment, world music are used.

The design of this project is meticulously careful, into the artwork, literature and music. In addition we make a call to stop the worst scenario of climate change.
