ASH: Art for Self Discovery and Healing

Executive Summary ASH is a center built to provide people a platform to vent out and release their stress and frustration through various art related activities. ASH will provide membership to interested individuals. The members can select from a variety of activities based on their interest, and choose the time slot that is suitable for them. We provide very flexible timing and services to all our customers. ASH originally has three goals. The first is to network healers who are using art to heal patients, the second is to network artist who are using art to heal themselves or others, and the third to make it as a tool for enhancing learning. We are more interested in the artist as healer, as the creative process as a primary healing tool. To help make art and healing one, we would give lectures, will bring artists and healers together, we will run workshops for interested candidates. Also we will organize healing art projects in different organizations and institutes. There is a huge potential in the market as the segment is currently untapped. Ash would be marketed through advertising, personal selling, social networks and website.

The Think Tank: Art for Self Discovery and Healing

What does everybody want in life? Happiness, freedom, a stress free life and peace. So, welcome to ASH which promises you to give a tranquil mind and soul. ASH works on the philosophy of PEACE. The life of a common man is filled to the brim with tensions of every sort. And with no proper means of channeling this built up frustration from their systems, the mind is burnt out. People are aware of the tensions in their lives, and many make attempts to counter it as well. Some of these recreational activities may not be a productive use of the time, and some may not even be healthy for them and the society as a whole. We are proposing freedom from oppression and pointless norms that mould our lives that restricts us by defining our roles in the society. We are proposing ART for a healthier lifestyle and as a mean to channel our thoughts. The benefits of these activities include: Self healing: Through art one can identify feelings and work through emotions like anger, resentment and other emotions. In this way, one can restore and refresh his/her spirit. Personal Fulfillment: Creating something can build confidence and nurture feelings of self worth. Empowerment: Freedom of expression through your work gives you sense of control on your feelings. Relaxation and stress relief: To be able to vent one’s tension and frustration in his/her own desirable way will help in relaxing and coping up with stress. We present to you ASH, Art for Self Discovery and Healing. A centre purpose built to use art as a tool to cure the society’s illnesses. ASH would a multi-faceted organization which based on volunteer work. Here people can come and express themselves in any way possible through any mode of art that they feel is appropriate for them. Be it drama, painting, photography, sculpturing, music, dance, anything. We would be ready to use it to help our customers. The facilities and the location would be built with the help of donations from people and investors alike. The basic structure of the centre would be that of a sports club. Interested people would become members of the club at an initial fee along with a small monthly charge for the facilities they avail. These cash inflows would help keep a steady flow into the system. Other than this the forms of art created would be exhibited and sold to the general public. In the form of art exhibitions, music festivals, drama fests and talent shows. The expression through art will help relieve the tensions built up in the people’s lives. All the while they will be enjoying the whole experience of expression.
