In an era plagued by the encroachment of AI content, all of us have recognized the threat posed to the creative spirit of the world. The time has come for a modern "Pre-Raph’AI’lite‘’ movement. We believe that artists and artful souls must unite against our century's despairs, and forge a new era of artistry and creative alchemy, inspiring generations to come and reminding the world of the timeless power and enchantment of holistic artful expression and community.
Gothe Residency of the Arts wishes to emerge as an epicenter for the dark creative spirits of the world.
Our mission is to create an inclusive artistic space that revitalizes the dark creative spirit; to provide an experience that ignites the soul and encourages artists to explore their unique creative interests, and the dark gift that is themself. Gothe Residency of the Arts believes in the importance of aesthetics when promoting creativity and the necessity of tailored creative spaces in the world. Our residency will be centered around artistic process, philosophy, experience, community, engagement and discovery.
We intend to create a residency that will foster growth, connection, community, creative exploration, and unite visions to bring dreams to life. By embracing the transformative power of the arts, we aspire to create a platform that not only supports individual artists but also contributes to the enrichment of the broader artistic landscape. We are committed to creating a space where creativity flourishes, ideas thrive, and the artists of this century will be inspired to reach new heights.
Mission Statement
‘’Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.’’
— Walt Whitman 1819-1892
‘’That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?”
— John Keating, Dead Poets Society
