Inspire Art was created as a global call to all artists, thinkers, talkers, dreamers and anyone who want to use their talents to fight for human rights. Together, we can bring visibility to issues that are so pervasive it affects every aspect of our lives. These days it is so hard for people to look. We are all inundated with the everyday aspects of life that are already challenging, so to look at another sad topic is almost unbearable. The media, politics, war, hunger, suffering, the list just goes on. I thought, there is any way we can combine the strength that intrinsically exists in music and art, help artists get visibility for their work, combining topics that need attention desperately, and try to do some good in this world.
To launch Inspire Art, I have created 512 paintings individual 8×10 paintings. Each painting is meant to symbolize one individual that was rescued from a life of forced labor and prostitution just last July from a brick kiln in India. These paintings have been divided into two sets (Set A and Set B). One is called ‘The Rose’ and one is ‘The Butterfly Effect’. The idea is, give a rose and allow it to ripple forward and Inspire someone else. What sometimes seems obvious to us, is not always obvious to others. By thinking of others, we enrich ourselves. By sharing art and music, we create higher consciousness. You just never know how your presence or actions will affect another human being. This movement is about giving, inspiring, and allowing yourself to realize that we are not only unique individuals, but we are an interdependent live experiment that is in dire need of color, music, and benevolence. Change happens because people make it happen, and everyone deserves a chance at life. Be Inspired.
*15% of the revenue from the INSPIRE art project will go directly to fight modern-day slavery and human trafficking. http://www.sarahfimm.com/inspire
*Some of the latest paintings that have come from this effort are now available on Facebook.

On February 2nd, near Woodstock, I will be performing in an intimate setting with a real piano and a tall raging fire at the Emerson.
I will be selling a limited amount of paintings, music and other items there to raise money for the cause of Inspire.
Also, in March, I will be playing every Tuesday at BSP in Kingston, NY. This is a wonderful new venue for discovering new music.
