Carlsbad Art and Culture

An excuse to bring people together comes around frequently, but is often overlooked, ignored or forgotten. An overall and creative subject ignites an idea which, if arranged correctly, can grow into a well nurtured network of minds, or culture. Branches of thought soon grow into separate directions, but always maintaining its initial influences. Like an early Spring shower, outside factors heal a set of ideas once it becomes dull and dry. When a neighborhood’s web of thoughts are solid and rooted in its community, rapid growth and inspiration may fallow. The implementation of a way of thinking with a goal of uniting a community through artistic creativity intensifies through the initial subject, an idea, audience, targeted location and most importantly, participation.

1. Initial Subject – This subject can be entirely new or pre-existing. This will be the foundation in which your ideas are based on.

2. Audience – Determine those to be involved. The audience should view as well as participate. This is important when brainstorming during the following step.

3. An Idea – Your idea will be created based on your overall subject. Your idea serves as a vehicle which will transfer your thought to others.

4. Location – Specify where you want to target. Small is fine with the intent of growth.

5. Participation – The involvement of a community is essential in the development of culture.

A culture’s success is not only dependent on creating art, but also on spreading the word of art and ideas. Snap a photo and/or send an email to theartist@carlsbadcrawl.com if you have something on your mind!
