GLOBAL UNITY, UNDERSTANDING AND FRIENDSHIP

THROUGH THE CULTURAL ARTS

This exceptional, soon to be announced, voyage will be launched carrying artists from all cultures that will open the hearts and embrace audiences on stages in cities worldwide. A traveling world’s fair of the arts, representing all countries, the Arts Olympus will create an international display of world culture free for the public in local theaters, parks, senior homes, universities, elementary schools and all venues wherever an audience can assemble as the ship goes from city to city. This historical, first time ever event will not only be a milestone in global understanding but a milestone in the minds of all who believe that world peace starts from the heart. This unique press launch will take place on the famous Queen Mary ship, permanently docked in Long Beach, California, June 17th through the 20th. The Arts Olympus, a non-profit organization, will replicate, on the Queen Mary what will be on the touring ship with live dance performances, concerts, intellectual salons, poetry readings, children’s films, amusements, art displays, global film festival, an international food buffet practically the full length of the ship and a grand star-studded gala dedicated to honoring artists who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to humanity.
