New York City - The newly-formed not-for-profit organization, Fund Art Now (F.A.N.) is fêting its launch at a 10-day celebration of art, A Call to Revolution, beginning on Thursday, March 25, with Cocktails & Hors D'oeuvres from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Collective Hardware, 169 Bowery Street (between Broome and Delancey Streets), from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Crossing cultural barriers, F.A.N. will employ the universal symbol of Art to promote a global discourse on fundamental issues inherent to the commonality of humanity. At the launch event, F.A.N. will begin its fundraising efforts and debut artist, Ulysses' latest "animated art" endeavor, as well as provocative work by Anton S. Kandinsky, Zach Hyman and Brian Reed, and musical performances. Other events during the celebration include, the Nouveau Haiti Night, benefiting the New York City Haiti Relief Fund, the debut of Soul Mafia's newest album and a performance by Ms. Annie Brazil.

About F.A.N.
With a mission to instill a Renaissance within the Arts community and change global consciousness, F.A.N. draws upon all types of Artists and Artisans across the globe and will create projects – such as the building of its foundation, brick-by-brick, through a joint effort – drawing international interest toward a focused goal. F.A.N.'s purpose will be to create a public congregation in which common goals and interests can be developed in a performance and gallery space where improvisation and collaboration are encouraged — a space where All are welcome; the ultimate goal will be to fulfill Van Gogh's elusive lifelong desire for community among artists, a collaboration of dreams.

Art projects selected for sponsorship will be chosen based upon their appeal to the base of human nature, where religion and politics are given secondary status, and their perceived effective nature on a global stage with accessibility to the international public — making a simple statement simply. Breaking down barriers that education and socio-economic factors have established over the centuries, accessibility to the masses is of utmost importance to F.A.N.'s mission.

Through such globally-accessible artwork, F.A.N. hopes to instill a global dialogue that will ultimately alter the manner in which humanity thinks and expresses themselves, changing the basic ideas of value and so forth. As important as the air we breathe, and the water we drink, art, in all of its various incarnations, needs to be embodied by All.
