At Creative Zen and Sister Mimi, we value and respect the cultural and financial capital of the artist and the work it produces. Art, intellect, and business share an equal space on this domain. Valuing creativity and education, academic and street wisdom, our team are all graduates with university degrees. Reflecting this shared value, our featured artists and affiliates are also creative and rational thinkers.

We are a registered company that mediates art through communication, marketing, promotion, and project development and management. We do not monetize the works of other artists featured; yet, we do own the rights to all editorials and certain images and content on this site.

From this standpoint, we mediate towards the artist maintaining ownership of their work. Knowledge and finance is power and so is the art it produces, which we the audience are without rights to claim. By mobilizing a platform for artists including ourselves, we are leading an initiative to recognize and appreciate the power in others. Rebels with a cause mediating respect for the cultural and financial capital all artists possess. Boldly or with accents of creativity, our editorials and featured artists are influencing the global culture, and the content and context of humanity.

To create art is to inspire. From literature that leaps of the page to music that captures our mind, there is something about art that collapses boundaries. Within seconds a song and dance, such as Dame Tu Cosita and Ding Dong and the Kool Ravers' Fling Yuh Shoulda, connects continents to form a universal social political space of love and happiness. It is demonstrative of the rather idealistic narrative of one love which, we aspire to achieve. It is the golden arc of art, mediating peace through shared interests.

This leads us to another universal commonality of expecting recognition for our efforts and capital for the sustenance for ourselves, loved ones, and the craft, of course. Within this framework, we each have an internal standard of how much recognition and capital will suffice, as well the source from which we perceive as a legitimate accreditation. And displacement of the cultural and financial capital is often unethical and illegal, though they are rarely enforced.

A fifth wall exists in every artform. It conceals the social and financial system invested in producing the work of art. Present are the cultural and financial investors, a collective of people who lost the battle, and the laboured persons, though they are second removed, yet, just as significant. Failing to acknowledge this wall is to infringe on the boundaries of the artist and his work.

Now there is a perplexing theory that many artists are somewhat spiritually centered. An icon represented as the creative being in the zone with the art as the representation of the higher self. Therefore, by aligning with the ethereal state of consciousness, the artist receives fulfillment from the gods through the ecstatic experience of nirvana. For those with this belief, we give much respect. But, you are still a part of humanity with respective needs. And, we have yet to witness an angel delivering a basket of gold coins.

Therefore, remember to invest and continue to partake in the process of admiring the work of all artists. Purchase their product and service. And reference your inspiration, copying is not a victimless offence.
