ABOUT ZO

Artists on the Horizon of a New Renaissance

We believe that every human being has at least one MASTERPIECE in their soul. In addition to featuring and connecting with artists for many years, our publication has grown through global Creative Expos that we orchestrate and invite worldwide viewers to participate in.

CREATIVE PARTICIPATION

ARTICLES & INTERVIEWS

Our mission at ZO is to encourage dialogue between creative thinkers and promote change through the arts. We feature work that we feel is timeless . . . and are not affiliated with any political, religious, racial, cultural or social movement.

We are ZO | Zone Obscura | Zone Organic | Zone Other

We encourage you to support the arts directly. If you are not a collector – become one – no matter how small. Collecting art will enrich your life and change the world. Visit local museums and regardless of what kind of groups you may be a part of, investigate whatever other artistic history, movements, or local groups exist that may be available to you. Become knowledgeable about others. Search our pages and take time to read, explore, and ponder the wealth of information that is being shared around the world. There is a new renaissance blooming if you focus on the positive. We are blessed to be a small part of it.

2021 CLOUD Z — and Before THEMES

Thoughts from the ZO

ZO is a unique collaborative arts project that orchestrates a vibrant daily-evolving Cloud Publication. Using media as a platform to celebrate and connect divergent nationalities and cultures, we encourage world artists and their fans to share constructive, creative energies and an appreciation for each other.

We are organically comprised of an international convergence of creative souls, and have a thriving network now existing and touching more than 170 countries and regions globally. We promote a broad online presentation of art, photography, poetry, music, literary and design offerings — all geared to enhance communications between people and sharing through the Arts.

ZO is gearing up towards an international online event titled Time ZOne and also planning an international Breakfast for Peace. Both will highlight a myriad of the world’s undiscovered talent and culinary treasures. Our intent is to focus not only on creatives, but also innovators who through their actions and personal lives are endeavoring to further solutions and solve problems in a creative and artistic manner. We hope that our fecund approach will be an encouragement in a world of opinions that are often pessimistic and cynical.

2018

We’ve been publishing in this online format since 2014 and treasure all of the artists that have allowed us to regularly feature their art and often their hearts on our pages. We certainly would not be at these new Levels we continually strive for without the art friends and team that have helped us organize . . . Eternal Blessings to all of you!

In 2018 we went to an abstract line up and started posting a random “vibe oriented” schedule – anything we felt fit the day – at any time we wanted . . . LOL. It was actually a very freeing time as we just went with our own FLOW, which can actually be a lot of spontaneous fun!

PREVIOUS FEATURES

It’s really been a blessing to develop relationships with the international artists we’ve connected with. Over the years it has been quite an adventure and we really hope to travel and connect on even deeper levels as we are able. The world can be like a runaway train, with people’s lives spiraling towards “digital relationships” and an almost robotically-paced lifestyle. Many wonder … where is the human touch in all of this? ZO believes that art and creativity can bring some of our humanity back. We are a bridge between world cultures, nature, technology, and overloaded careers sometimes drained of the dreams we had as children. We want everyone to have an opportunity to be creative and ZO feels we are all a part of this New Renaissance!

Ultimately, we are seeking a Creative Quality of Life

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. — Edward de Bono

Artists and musicians are and have always been, vehicles to express the ecstasy, conscience, and agony of the times. They depict history from an emotional perspective and often highly influence traditions by their observations and portrayals —effecting change!

ZO’s mission is to spotlight the talents of the world — without precondition or partiality. Our mission is to use the arts as a podium of peace, one upon which racial and cultural barriers and bitterness may be traded for newfound exposure and understanding. We simply want to illuminate the talents, gifts, and creativity that all of us have to some degree; but which have lain under-exposed and segregated by the walls of the world.
