Mission Statement:

1. We advocate as sublime the integration of all cultures, races, religions, ideologies and art forms. 2. We denounce as divisive the patriotic, the nationalistic and the religious dogmas of the past. 3. We aim for maximalism, to bridge and combine rather than reduce, minimize and restrict. 4. We are inspired and driven by an inner need, by a deep passion to create rather than be driven by misplaced ulterior motives and made slave to a process devoid of political, social, emotional, and conceptual meaning. 5. We denounce minimalistic, abstract and concrete art whose time has come and gone. These art forms are vague, passive and best suited for palatial interiors where admiration is its rhyme and decoration is its reason. 6. We espouse the use of all contemporary technological mediums and materials for the melding, the fusing, the creation of art of the future. 7. We espouse recognition for talent, creativity and vision. 8. We praise the collective spirit, the truth of creating art for its own sake and not for the sake of adulation by the power brokers. 9. We denounce narcissistic art forms, contemporary art which is self congratulatory and promotional. 10. We aspire to create art which can and will invade all sensory levels and by its limitless nature espouses the infinite.

Converging Arts Media Organization has received funding and support from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. It’s mission is threefold: 1. To promote fusion/multidisciplinary art as a recognized contemporary art genre.

2. To provide an exhibition venue for fusion artists, with a primary focus on artists from New York City while making this art genre/form accessible to the community. FusionArts Museum is Converging Arts Media Organization’s headquarters and art gallery space located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. A number of the New York City artists represented here have been creating fusion art on the Lower East Side and in the East Village for over two decades.

3. To provide New York City fusion artists the opportunity to exhibit internationally through an international artist cultural exchange program. This program connects NYC artists with a network of arts festivals held in Canada, Europe and Asia. In turn international fusion artists from participating countries are hosted at a New York-based fusion arts festival held annually at the end of each August. The international artists who have been hosted and exhibited at FusionArts Museum are from Japan, Italy, Germany, Canada, Poland, China, Russia, the Czech Republic and France.
