The Resonance movement, focused on supporting all artists while they are still alive, is founded today:
July 31, 2025 Founded by Janice O'Brien.
The core the movement, Resonance, is about active, present-day support for visual artists. To ensure it applies to all living visual artists, of any style, and in all parts of the world, universally inclusive, and actionable within the visual arts domain.
Embracing all forms of visual artistic expression and resonate across cultures.
Proposed Core Principles for the Resonance Movement (Visual Arts Focus):
The Present Canvas: We believe that a visual artist's value, contributions, and needs are most significant while they are alive and creating. Appreciation for their paintings, sculptures, photographs, digital art, installations, and other visual creations should not be deferred to illness, decline, or death.
Universal Visual Inclusivity: The Resonance movement champions all living visual artists, irrespective of their chosen medium, style, genre, cultural background, nationality, or socio-economic status. From traditional painting to digital photography, from public murals to intricate crafts, every visual creator deserves support.
Active Visual Engagement: We advocate for proactive support: purchasing visual art, commissioning visual works, attending exhibitions (physical or virtual), sharing visual artists' work (online and offline), providing fair compensation, and fostering opportunities for growth and recognition now.
Sustainable Artistic Livelihoods: We promote practices that enable visual artists to thrive, earn a living wage from their art, and continue their creative practice throughout their lives. This includes fair pricing, equitable gallery practices, and direct artist-to-patron relationships for visual works.
Global Connection & Mutual Support: We foster a worldwide community where visual artists, patrons, collectors, institutions, and the public connect to share, discover, and mutually support living visual artistic endeavors across all geographical and stylistic boundaries.
Impactful Appreciation: We believe in the transformative power of visual art when its creators are present to witness and engage with its impact on the world. Their "Resonance" should be felt and acknowledged in real-time.
This movement is essential now because:
Under-recognized Visual Talent: Countless brilliant visual artists globally struggle for recognition and financial stability while alive, only for their work to be re-evaluated and celebrated posthumously. "Resonance" seeks to shift this paradigm for the visual arts community.
Economic Vulnerability of Visual Artists: Visual artists worldwide often face precarious economic situations. Proactive support strengthens the entire creative ecosystem and allows visual artists to focus on their vital work.
Cultural Preservation & Innovation in Visuals: Supporting living visual artists, especially those from diverse and underrepresented cultures, ensures the preservation of unique visual artistic traditions and fuels continuous innovation in visual art forms.
Immediate Societal Impact of Visuals: Living visual artists can directly engage with contemporary issues through their artwork, offering critical perspectives and fostering dialogue that is most impactful in the present moment.
