VVP MANIFESTO 2024


Our work should always mean something that others can receive and see good


It’s in the areas of our minds where our work knows us better than we do


We want to explore, and be humble


Our creative urge belongs to eternity


We can appreciate and delight in creating, with a spirit of enthusiasm and childlike love


It is all a nurturing


Through making, and consuming the made, we connect to our fellow Images of God


We create to understand and be understood


Our art moves away from reality if grounded in it and closer to reality if grounded elsewhere


We use our imagination to order our world because of how we see it, how we want it to be, and think it should be


We create to bring our child-like self to life


We use our minds creatively to mold and form a culture with ideas of the world before us, the world we live in, and the world ahead of us


We create because we believe in someone who understands what we are doing and accepts it


We enjoy the gift God gave us which is our creative minds


When in the process of making, our inner child comes to life


When we create our purpose is revealed


When we create, we attend to and love others


To create is to fight against the hurry and choose to engage one’s soul, giving dignity and meaning to creation.


We like taking inspiration from ideas and other creations we love or enjoy


The air comes to life and our eyes and minds are given sight


We give the piece space to breathe and show it unconditional love as it forms


Our man-made creations are an extension of our God-breathed identity


We spend our time with it
