Art in every home (and business)
Art, creativity and beauty is a natural part of everyone's life. We need to expand our concept of art, the way it is used and the way it is available to the population. Should original art be available only to the wealthy? We need to make it less expensive and more freely available. To begin, let's put one piece of art in every home!
Would you like to contribute directly to this organization? 100% of funds goes to people in need in Tanzania. Visionary Tanzania practices complete transparency.

There are many ways we can produce more art. The availability of art is often suppressed in order to keep prices high and to make it exclusive. Let's make it inclusive. Let's uncover the old art stashed away in basements and attics. For example, original lithographs, engravings, woodcuts can be produced in much greater quantity.

"Art is not found only in the painter's studio or in the halls of a museum, it also has its place in the store, the shop, the factory, and the home...

In fact, when art is reserved as the province of professional artists, a dangerous gulf develops between the fine arts and the everyday arts. The fine arts are elevated and set apart from life, becoming too precious and therefore irrelevant. Having banished art to the museum, we fail to give it a place in ordinary life. One of the most effective forms of repression is to give a thing excessive honor."

Thomas Moore, "Care for the Soul."

Impromptu Opera in market
Sacla' the Pesto Pioneers planted five secret opera singers disguised as casual shoppers and store staff among the groceries, who broke into song, bringing the London supermarket to a standstill with a rousing rendition of the Italian classic Funiculì, Funiculà. Link Edit

Gatherings
Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better.
Schedule a Gathering.

Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better! Facilitating Quests is easy and no one needs to be an expert. The Quest Path is intuitive. Just take the steps that interest you. To begin, decide on the Gathering type.
Quest Meeting
Hold a meeting open to Visionary society members and the public, with the purpose of following any Quest Path, reaching the heart of a basic social or personal mystery. See more.
Public Action
A great insight matters little unless and until we bring it into the world. Public Action is bringing the insights of a Quest to the public. It works by engagement – engaging the public, helpfully but with clarity, in matters of significance. See more.
Celebration of the Good
Can we envision a new kind of entertainment, one that engages people in active celebration of beauty, truth and good? See more.
