Vision Festival 18
AFA is excited to announce that Milford Graves will receive this year's Lifetime Achievement Award. This legendary drummer, scientist, herbalist, martial artist and acupuncturist is truly a renaissance man whose work has for too long gone either under the radar or like so many great artists, has been misunderstood. His groundbreaking work and scientific approach to understanding the effect of rhythm on the heart is matched with a belief in the power of art to move and inspire.  As a drummer, his roots are in latin/Cuban rhythms, which will be reflected in the first group on June 12 where he has invited David Virelles to join him with a group of 3 other Cuban musicians.  The Rest of the Night will be All Stars including Kidd Jordan, DD Jackson, Charles Gayle Roswell Rudd Amiri Baraka and William Parker!

For the first time, Arts for Art will honor a great visual artist for a lifetime of achievement at the 18th Vision Festival in June 13, 2013.  Robert Janz was born in 1932 in Ireland but received his art training in the US. He was part of the 'Zen Generation' led by Pacific Coast Beat artists.  His work, in his own words, is  'totemic ...haikus'.  Robert Janz has lived all his art always slightly under the radar, creating powerfully resonant, nomadic, overlooked, poetic, ephemeral, challenging art.  And his art and philosophy has influenced generations of artists all over the world as his nomadic life led him.  It is Arts for Art's honor to shine a light on his work and creative philosophy.
