WHAT IS “FORWARD THINKING”?
Hope. Passion. Resilience. Change. Words like these often fail to capture the ineffable bounty of the human spirit without devolving swiftly into banality or cliche. The artists supported by the Forward Thinking Museum transcend language itself; they capture in the click of a shutter, in the composition of a moment, the fullness of what it means to be a part of humanity.
We at the Forward Thinking Museum seek to support visual artists who use their talents not just to expose the harsh realities of the present, but rather to engage with the future. We espouse neither manifesto nor doctrine, instead welcoming diverse view points of artists –both professionals and amateurs – each holding strong to a vision, images far stronger than words: not of the world as it is, but of the world as it could be.

THEME – Book Power Redux is seeking works addressing social and political issues. Artist books can be a powerful vehicle for social change and activism. For this show we have a strong interest in works that shine a light on some of the most vital issues of our day: race, diversity, equality, justice, bullying, poverty, civil rights and more. And, don’t forget we are still a country at war.
Book artists have a unique opportunity given our accessible, multi-dimensional, multi-media format to go beyond just making things to making things happen. The current social and political issues listed above are but a few topics concerned artists can use to raise consciousness, call for justice or provoke action. Let’s use our creative powers to solve the problems of the world.
