2395 Artists LLC is for Artists in all disciplines, who have something new to offer, unique, individualistic, something only they can bring. We would like to give strength to those who observe the influence of the world around them and instead of copying what has been done, take it to another place and/or create a something new.
It can a be a hard road for any Artist. We would like to be their one stop shop, their support system, a place where they can interact and have the access to whatever is that they require.
In todays world, at various points in an Artists life, they will need to gain a working relationship with more than a dozen entities and exclusive corporations. Our vision is to circumvent that process, align their career goals, help them plan, brand and market themselves, schedule touring, coordinate press events, work with music supervisors, book industry showcases, setup film/television projects, cameos and jobs, position sponsors, coordinate radio/television/podcast/print interviews, build brand awareness, develop product lines, regain previously owned rights, restore old recordings and films if needed, acquire facilities and housing, create books, help artists that are sick and need income, therapy, insurance or set them up in a postion if still have other skills, etc. Whatever their needs, from having a space to create, access to materials, computers, building relationships and/ or working with Artists in the same or other disciplines, finding out who they are as Artists, aligning with mentors and teachers, etc. Whatever it takes, to help ensure each Artist has the chance to become what they set out to be.
Art can be commissioned, endowed, and supported, it was not meant as disposable fodder. Great works of Art sometimes take years to be completed and the time, education and effort leading up to the work is an expensive and consuming objective. Artists are worth the value and respect of everyone. You would never ask a contractor to build your house, a mechanic to fix car or a chef make your food for free. Artists should be held in high regard and endowed accordingly.
Art is something we all need, whether it is the book in our hand, the device we use all day, the shows or movies we watch, the paintings in our homes or businesses, the concerts, shows, performances and plays we attend, the food we eat, the podcasts and music we listen to in our cars or at work. Respect for the Artist should have arrived before the mid 20th century. So let's do what we can to make the world a better place and build out a support system for what truly makes up our way of life.
If you would like to make a difference, build your own career, define your place in the world and do something that has never been done. This is your time!
