The Group of the Gala Corina

We are a group that is interested in the search for beauty, harmony, truths, purity, expression, and rigor in all forms of art: architecture, painting, drawing, sculpture, jewelry, poetry, music, photography, film, performing arts, furniture, products, and others which may have not yet been discovered or mentioned. One who searches for these ideals through creative thought in any medium, who rigorously attempts to learn about both the ideals and the mediums may be known as a craftsman and an artist.

We are a group interested in the synergistic development of our environment and our communities through a dialog among craftsmen. We are interested in exposing the interdependence of all creative thought. The exposition of the manifestations of such creative thought, in a public realm, is the most effective method of conveying this interdependence. This exhibition of creative manifestations, works of art, becomes a vehicle to summarize for the public community, how ideas, imagination, will, and perseverance can shape our environment into something that is constantly creative . . . stemming from our ideals, and our imaginations . . . and forge our community into an active, creative, and beautiful place.
