Ella Veres ArtVentures

Transylvanian ArtVentures seeks to create positive social change through art. Our aim is to introduce original and daring artistic works to counteract the damaging social forces of oppression, injustice, and discrimination against individuals and groups. We use humor and artistic expression and personal/individual testimony to target the bureaucratization, apathy, absurdity, and dehumanization of social and political structures.

We are a global support organization in both intent and action. Our philosophy has evolved from the life experiences and the work of writer/performer/artist Ella Veres, the group's founder. We do not believe in art for art’s sake. Art is a powerful tool for social change.

 

The organization was established to respond to our frustration with current political and social structures, both local and global, that have failed to live up to their promises of effectively combating inequities in our society.

 

Starting with June, 2011, we'll have twin locations, in New York City and Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

 

Our work will at first facilitate an artistic commute between the two locations and cultures, later on we'll expand to new teritories throughout Europe and the Americas.

Who We Are

Ella Veres, the main engine, and various generous volunteers make this happen.
