In 1980, Visionary Artists' Resources Including Other Unique Services was founded by artist/coordinator, Peter H. Rosen, to establish an Artists Resource Center; a facility to provide opportunities for artists and audiences to gather, to exhibit, to discuss, and to enjoy all forms of traditional and digital creative expression. This center, now called Creativity Cafe will be replicated in communities all over the world, interconnected via the latest telecommunication technologies, to enable global audiences to enjoy and participate in interactive entertainment and educational experiences.
New technology and new self awareness necessitate changes in the way we relate to each other; personally, economically and socially. The Creativity Cafe will serve as an educational entertainment emporium offering indigenous communities, a gathering and communication center dedicated to helping people cope with new paradigms of thought and the technological shifts rapidly changing our world. Creativity Cafe is a venue for having fun or getting work done. It currently exists in cyber space and soon, as a physical place.
