SPREAD THE WORD!

An etymology on “revolution:” (latin) re- back + volvere roll, orbit. To revolve is to complete a cycle of, to become. It involves a change. REVO is simply our way of saying: we’d like to change the world through rolling orbiting spinning cycling becoming: loving.
Based on the concept of LOVE, to live the REVO everyday is to think beyond ourselves and redefine our modern conception of necessity. It is taking a homeless man out to dinner. It is smiling your best smile at a young pregnant mother, scared of her growing stomach, a child herself. It is seeing beauty in the disfigured, seeing wholeness in the lame, seeing a dance in the invalid.
REVO is a movement we can all grab on to. It connects you to a young orphan, and a young orphan to you. It connects you to hurricane Katrina, to the rain-and-storm in California, to the students at Virginia Tech, the War in Uganda, sex slaves in Thailand, to Turkey, to the ends of the earth. REVO gives every person the opportunity to help make the world just a little bit better, a little more livable, a little less fearful for those who haven’t eaten in days, or slept in a bed, with pillows and sheets.
We tell the story of orphans, of women whose stomachs swell from rape and young children dying of AIDS. There are social injustices and sad stories tucked away in all of the world, stories of illness and poverty, hunger and abandonment, fear of every waking moment, fear of tomorrow. So many of us can— and want to!— proffer help to those who need help, yet most of us don’t know what to do or where to begin.
There are many notable organizations dedicated in doing great things— they are digging wells in tribal villages and setting up health clinics. REVO wants to help these organizations and ensure that they have the funds they need to execute these dreams. With the donations we gather, we can contribute to what these organizations are already doing. We are not limited by geography, we are not interested only in Africa. We want to help wherever there is helped needed.

Join us at our next art show. Art is an organic way of responding to what we see, what we experience. Through our art, we can capture a piece of reality—the beauty and the agony, and as the viewer stands at the canvas of oily blue, a connection happens between artist-and-audience, art-and-world. We’d like to invite you to be part of this revolutionary team and a revolutionary heart we call: REVO.
