“While it may be true that we need food more than song, there are times when a simple verse – written, sung, intoned, or brushed onto canvas – is more sustaining than the most plentiful feast.” –Brooks Smith, The Songlines of Richmond.
"The tattoo image – approximately one inch in diameter – consists of three parallel lines. It is a copy of the oldest known tattoo – one of more than 70 tattoos found on a 5,200-year-old man who had been frozen in a glacier. The man’s tattoos consist of geometric lines, and their meanings are unknown." ~CultureWorks
Organizations are looking for ways to continue to support arts and culture programs during this time when donations and fundings have been smaller than at other times. CultureWorks has been creative in looking for a solution.
With a $150+ donation CultureWorks donors has the option of a real tattoo.
“CultureWorks’ offer of a real tattoo signifies and confirms CultureWorks’ claim for the enduring value and validity of arts and culture. The three-parallel-line image is emblematic of the often enigmatic and elegant qualities of the best of the arts.
CultureWorks’ tattoo offer also signifies CultureWorks’ role as a banner-waver of all important expressions of arts and culture and CultureWorks’ celebration of their patrons and practitioners.” – CultureWorks
