ThinkArtz, a group of young creative minds formerly known as ‘Art My Story’ has clocked three years in the promotion of arts and creativity.
The group which was founded with the vision of changing the world through ‘thinking’ and ‘expression’, according to the Director General, Mr. Uzomba Hillary Ugochukwu was founded on Thursday 19 December, 2013 as ‘Art My Story’ to enable them express their God-given talents and since then has grown bigger become ‘ThinkArtz’ on September 11, 2015.
Mr. Uzomba Hillary Ugochukwu, who is presently making waves in the world of arts through his paintings and poetry, in Owerri, Imo State, said: “Thinking is creative – creating is art. The limitations of the mind on what to think hinders artistic becoming. The act of the thought is very difficult, even more than the art of creating – for the thought is the guardian of that which emanates from infinite possibilities of the mind, and like a positive vibe, think it, then you can do it. The thought is the Art”, Mr. Uzumba explained.
He further said that the group stands out because of their concepts and is made up of young people represent and work towards being the art and artists of our time. The group believes in using what our time has given to them to create art, in time and space.
“ThinkArtz among other things believes in the Head and Hand philosophy; Intellect and skill. Thus, we have online lectures, youth awareness programs, discussions, debates, seminars and workshops, as well as community based life changing events. We believe in giving back to the community what they have given us as creators.
“We stand with any organization or persons that stand with young people; that promotes young Talents, youth empowerment and leadership and all that promote the fluidity and freedom of the creative process”, he concluded.
Amongst all these visions and accomplishments, the group is still poised to increase its membership and as well as achieve more for themselves and humanity.
