This 4th of July, as I dance around with shining sparklers, and look up at the sky, illuminated by flaming colors red, white, and blue, I’d like to celebrate what truly makes America unique. After all, isn’t that what birthdays are for?
Yes, I do love celebrating the 4th of July with a great meal among friends and family, and relish in waving our flag of stars and stripes with pride. I do love baseball and barbecues - both as American as apple pie. Yet, what I love most about America is the set of values we stand for, our freedoms and rights. These timeless values, declared over 200 years ago, are still relevant today. This Independence Day I would like to celebrate them. This Independence Day I am most thankful for freedom of speech, for freedom of expression.
This liberty is what has given amazing artists the ability to show the world what they feel, and what they believe. This liberty is the foundation of our company. Here, we believe that everyone’s voice has a right to be heard, and through our art publishing process, we help artists speak out, and tell their stories. We believe that, just as artists have a right to show their work to the world, the world has a right to see these works. Because we believe this so strongly, our mission is not only to assist artists as they broadcast their message, but we are helping people see and experience what these artists have to say. We are “democratizing art.” Each person has the right to surround himself, or herself, with beauty. Each person has the right to own beautiful art.
MAP ACTE 3 aims to facilitate the realization of these liberties for each person, “from sea to shining sea” and beyond. Because we believe in the red, white, and blue, we believe in art for me and art for you.
This is our American Dream. What's yours?
