The
Literary Renaissance Mission Statement
The
Literary Renaissance is a culturally diverse, non-profit organization based in
Louisville, Kentucky supporting a global arts community.
Our
goal is to create a discourse, to give a voice, an equal voice, to those who haven't
been heard, all voices, all people without excluding anyone.
Our
mission is inclusive: to create a place, a temporary autonomous zone in books,
posters, chapbooks, on film/screen, on audio recordings, out loud onstage at readings,
concerts, events, festivals, INSOMNIACATHONs, galleries, in nature, always open
to the new without excluding the old, where the creative imagination is the vital
source and all people stand on and share common ground, a place where known and
unknown walk hand in hand.
The
members of The Literary Renaissance are non-violent warriors working for peace
and justice, devoted to helping those who can't help themselves, laboring to resurrect
the heart.
