Questions And Answers 1. What is Arts Olympus? The Arts Olympus
is the first world cultural center created on a ship. It will tour the
globe on a ship that will include a continuous convergence of media
via live performance, television, radio and Internet. The world’s
hopes, dreams and aspirations for global goodwill will be captured,
documented and celebrated in an ongoing multi-media arts event that
will emanate from the most unique ocean-going vessel in history. We want every country
to participate in this global humanitarian effort. The Arts Olympus
has created an international network of talent in the arts that spans
the entire globe. We have empowered creative genius by honoring them
as brilliant representatives of their country and culture. 4. How is the Arts Olympus any different than any other festival? The Arts Olympus
will have a physical presence in cities throughout the world as it tours
the globe. This will include television, radio and Internet which will
be an integral part of the Arts Olympus, bringing the celebration of
cultures right into the homes of millions. The Arts Olympus
will be an invitation for all countries to send their most powerful
artists and performers who will capture the essence and greatness of
their culture and people. Both the country’s selection committee
and ours will pare the entries down until we have only the most spectacular
performers and artists in the world. Private investments, corporate sponsors, country participation, grants, merchandising and royalties. The site will be
an outstanding entertainment platform. Video and audio performances
streaming from locations gobally will be a big part of our broadcasts.
The opportunity for individuals and groups to submit and express their
creativity and thoughts through all art forms captured digitally will
also be included. This, in essence, will enable the Arts Olympus to
be “co-produced” with public participation. There will be
extensive gallery exhibits, live performances and many opportunities
for people to communicate with creative genius assembled from all parts
of the globe. There will be programs for children in the arts, lectures
and demonstrations of different cultures, ALL FREE TO THE PUBLIC. The
Arts Olympus will give birth to a renaissance of activity in every city
that it visits and will create an abundance of programming for television,
radio and Internet. Robert Slaughter,
the founder and his team wanted to construct a venue that would bring
into being a better understanding of the people of the world and help
create a global harmony through the arts. At the same time, they wanted
to unite people through live performances and use the latest cutting
edge technology to reach out to entire populations via television, radio
and Internet. We started years ago by creating all kinds of arts programs via arts salons, exhibits, dance, concerts and countless public performances too numerous to mention. However, we hope to launch our ship in the year 2011. 11. Can I go on the cruise? Yes. Priority will
