Once we’re all in agreement about what’s happening on Earth

WHAT IS TIME???

A metaphysical construct to keep everything from happening at once — think about it.

We are developing a unique event ZO using UTC TIME ZONES. Our Spoken Universe ART CONVERGENCE will feature art, poetry, fashion, music, and other collaborations meshing all of the above into new creative offerings. We have been planning this event for many years and will update our plans on these pages. This Time Masque is very much influenced by the fun, costume extravaganzas, and liveliness of the masques so elegantly staged for centuries in Venice, Italy. We hope to coordinate with at least 5 other countries (outside of the U.S.) to broadcast live, along with pre-recorded material, and are thankful for the many artists around the world that are helping us to pull it together.

We are compiling info on participating artists in a few upcoming Global Map pages where countries are listed in alphabetical order. If you would like to help us curate and participate, please consider becoming a Sponsor|Curator through our City Curator connection. Info is at this link.

Development in progress through the generosity of Re-Creating Paradise

DEVELOPING INFO by UTC Time ZOne . . .

Artists, Musicians, Poets, Designers, Writers and other Creative Souls will be featured either live or with pre-recorded media. Because we believe in the timelessness of life, our presentation will include artists that are living now and those that have preceded us to the next plane of existence … time references will only be made for those who have left Earth …
