Project AWE: Where Art Meets Magic

INTERPRETING THE PAST-CONTRIBUTING TO THE PRESENT-SHAPING THE FUTURE

WELCOME TO PROJECT AWE = WHERE ART MEETS MAGIC
Welcome to Project AWE (Aesthetics of Western Esotericism) = Where Art Meets Magic = Magicae artis occurat

Project Awe invites the public to join them in search of new and inspiring art evidence demonstrating esoteric ideas across time

Project Awe is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization on a mission to explore forgotten connections between Hermetic-Cabalist traditions & Art. Using the esoteric "key", AWE provides new dimensions to understanding & experiencing cultural icons of Western European heritage. Join us in search of new and inspiring evidence demonstrating esoteric ideas across time in the arts from Leonardo Da Vinci to Mozart.

THE PAST
project AWE offers Invisible Museum Tours an art journey to museums led by artists, scholars, & experts in the fields of Art, History, & Esotericism creating unforgettable experiences that change the way we look and interact with art.

The name for these unique tours was inspired by the concept of "invisible college" mentioned in German Rosicrucian pamphlets in the early 17th century.  This society's common theme was to acquire knowledge through experimental investigation.  "Invisible College" seems to have existed in member's minds & hearts rather than in a physical location.


THE PRESENT
project AWE promotes creativity in visual, literary, and music arts. Programs and collaborations are supported by grants

Project Awe engages via various media including:
public lectures, workshops, conferences, tours, TV series, translation work, publications, art exhibitions, recitals, & performances.






THE FUTURE
project AWE launched the Young Artist Program (Y.A.P.) to create a support system for young talent & to raise scholarship funds helping the students transition to Art College – making it possible for their dreams to become a career.

“A man that looks on glass,
On it may stay his eye
Or if he pleaseth, through it pass,
And then the heaven espy.”
— George Herbert, 1633
