“Our focus on creativity and culture is summoned from the deepest heart within our community to serve the planet and all beings into the future. Our unique part is to steward the contemporary creative and symbolic arts as part of the story we are telling about who we are as a people at this time. Artists and writers have always been the storytellers of each epoch – shaping how the story is told, what parts, and in what way.”

Dear Sarah,

Musea Intentional Creativity Museum would like to invite all of our members and subscribers to reserve your ticket by donation for our Year-End Museum Show Celebration and Intentional Creativity Foundation FUNdraiser, tomorrow at 4 pm PT LIVE online!

To attend this Museum Show, you must claim a ticket through our Eventbrite ticket page. There are tiered ticket donation options at $10, $25, $50, a personal donation amount, or a complimentary ticket option for those who are unable to donate at this time yet would like to attend this wonderful celebration!

We want to honor the incredible Museum Programming and philanthropic endeavors our nonprofit organization – the Intentional Creativity Foundation – has generously funded this year, including exhibiting and representing the art of our members and supporters!

Our goal is to raise $5000 through ticket sales to support our continued Museum programming and philanthropic projects in 2022. We thank you in advance for joining us in this collaborative fundraising endeavor.

A message from Curatorial Director, Amber Samaya Gould on the ‘why’ behind our year-end show and fundraiser…

Amber Samaya Gould and Curator, Shiloh Sophia together at Musea Intentional Creativity Museum headquarters in Sonoma, California in November for VIVID Tapestry Gathering, 2021

“I want to start by thanking all of our members, guests and subscribers for your support, enthusiasm, and regular presence at our Museum Shows and events over the past year and a half of our virtual Museum being open. When Shiloh Sophia honored me with the Curatorial Directorship, I felt like I was stepping in to the most meaningful work of my life.

We have really co-created something remarkable together – a membership community of artists that celebrate each other, that desire to be a healing presence in the world, and who share a devotional practice of Intentional Creativity. We are also catalyzed by the presence of our museum guests and subscribers who regularly attend our events, comment, uplift, and celebrate art in community with us.

In these times of global challenges and the doors of so many art museums, galleries, and community centers closing, we have found a resilient way forward together – one in which we are stronger together, able to love what we love, to access self-expression, continue with meaningful holding actions, and allow the nurturing gifts of beauty and creativity to fortify us individually and collectively.

This is at the visionary heart center of the work of the Intentional Creativity Foundation, who state:

“Our focus on creativity and culture is summoned from the deepest heart within our community to serve the planet and all beings into the future. Our unique part is to steward the contemporary creative and symbolic arts as part of the story we are telling about who we are as a people at this time. Artists and writers have always been the storytellers of each epoch – shaping how the story is told, what parts, and in what way.”

We are artists. We are storytellers. We are consciously and lovingly shaping our own lives and the lives of those around us. And the ripples move out.

The Intentional Creativity Foundation and all it sponsors holds me for the telling and shaping of a very good story – one that represents my own deeply held values, aspirations and deepest care for the earth and all that is alive upon it.

Thank you for supporting this good story continuing to be told!”

On behalf of our BIWOC Leadership, Semerit Strachan and Lauren Adorno-Weatherford, we are excited to announce that submissions are now open for Musea Intentional Creativity Museum’s first BIWOC-exclusive open call for art, Carnaval of Spirit Love!

As a Musea BIWOC Member, this art call is a chance for you to have your artwork featured in an amazing exhibit housed in our Virtual Museum, as well as a celebratory LIVE Museum Show, hosted and curated by our BIWOC Leadership and attended by our global community on February 16, 2022 at 4 pm PT.

We invite Musea BIWOC Art of Women of Color Circle Members to submit up to two paintings that embody this theme of Celebration, Color, Culture, and Creativity. We wish to invite you to be with the inquiry: What is the story I wish to share?

Submissions will remain open until February 6, 2022. Let us together co-create a powerful art container that will hold the colors, cultures, textures, words, songs, prayers, tears, dreams, hopes, experiences, invocations, advocacy and voices of our BIWOC Community.
