Apogee Expands its Internationally Recognized Programs Promoting
Intercultural Collaboration through the Arts
New York, London and Tokyo, November 11, 2008 – The Apogee
Foundation announced today that it is expanding its
internationally recognized Synergy Programs, which are designed
to enhance the creative excellence of artists and to enrich the
aesthetic awareness of the public through the fostering of
collaborative engagement among diverse cultural traditions. A
special focus of these programs will be the promotion of mutually
empowering collaboration among artists from cultures that have
experienced a history of conflict.
Participants will be selected through the Foundation's Apogee
Awards programs, which serve to discover artistic talent around
the world. Once selected, award laureates will join in Apogee
Academy programs offering holistic, multi-disciplinary approaches
to developing their fullest potential together. Artist-laureates
sharing these experiences will then perform in live and recorded
Apogee Artists productions celebrating their shared achievements
on the world stage.
In the years since its formation, The Apogee Foundation has
evolved from a group of international professionals working to
revitalize the collapsing arts education systems of the former
Soviet Union into a philanthropic organization fostering human
creative potential worldwide. For more information, please visit
the Foundation's website: www.apogeefoundation.org
Apogee President Kenneth Schneider said "Apogee's Synergy
Programs not only testify to the unique gifts with which each
artist and culture is endowed but also, by bringing these
creative forces into dynamic collaboration, demonstrate the power
of the arts to engender new forms of understanding and to inspire
new ways of living for all mankind."
