Community Arts

With our Group Exhibition's project, Altered Esthetics hopes to contribute to the vitality of the West Bank, providing local artists and community members with the opportunity to support local businesses and organizations, focusing our artistic experience on bridging the gap between artist and community. For example, 119 people attended Altered Esthetics’ 2014 Art Houst Film Festival, which featured works from 21 international and local artists; for this upcoming Film Festival, we expect a larger audience turnout, and using last year's festival and group exhibition's as an example, we plan to present our audience with an extensive selection of locally and internationally produced works. We define our artistic success by the proven support and positive survey feedback from our community members and returning artists, as well as by the continued desire expressed by local businesses to exhibit with us in the future. All past and future projects would not have been possible without the great outpouring of community encouragement and involvement, and we plan to provide our audience and artists with similar surveys in the future to evaluate the success of our 2015 Group Exhibitions Project.
