These are tough times for visionary, emerging art. Finding a voice loud enough and clear enough to penetrate above the now overwhelming clamour of other (mostly uninspired) artists is more difficult than ever. Its hard to see the motivation or incentives to try – afterall, even if one does choose to create something, sticking to a proven saleable paradigm is much easier and more enticing than venturing out into the wilderness of ideas and finding a meaningful way of ones own. Most of us know though that we would rather have one outstanding, visionary work of art than the mass of derivative work that we’ve grown indifferent to, but the the environment we’ve created is not conducive to this.

At HI.ARC.TOW we believe that with enough dedication and concentration we can transcend this situation – by focusing exclusively on art that is distinctive & meaningful and by showcasing new, engaging art from emerging artists who hope to overcome the stagnation of the present status quo.

Our goals are: to promote a thoughtful and purposeful approach to creativity, assist people in the development of the necessary skills to create good art and promote transcendentally good art – which includes hosting work on this website from artists we like and who want to offer a sample of their work for free, public dissemination.
