Hope is a passion for the possible.” Søren Kierkegaard
GENVAS is committed to nurturing the mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of our diverse community and world at large through purposeful, thought-provoking, and enlightening artistic experiences…all while promoting public health safety. Our unique and innovative Salon “experience” celebrates the multi-cultural and inter-generational diversity of our community in intimate and interactive 21st century versions of the historic Art Salon setting featuring all the performing and visual fine arts.
GENVAS strives be “cleverly” educational, emotionally enlightening, and to present powerful messages of hope and inspiration. We envision a future in which racism is eliminated and diversity, equality, and inclusion thrive and are celebrated.
Our Performances
From South Florida with Love!
From South Florida with Love! is GENVAS’ latest original Salon concert series. It will debut in March of 2024 and the inaugural season will end in May of 2025. The inspiration for GENVAS 2024 – 2025 productions is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which celebrates the inherent dignity of All Human Beings. The Declaration was proclaimed over 7 decades ago by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948, as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. This milestone document was drafted by representatives from all regions of the world, who each had different legal and cultural backgrounds, in direct response to the inhumanity of World War II.
The opening words of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” These inspiring words are aguiding principle for the whole declaration but, looking around at the world we have made in the decades since they were written, it is clear that we have forgotten them. Our salon’s will showcase global Artists who work across all genres. The Artist presented will also represent members of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious communities.
Café Society Pride
GENVAS’ Café Society is inspired by the real life “beautiful people” and “bright young things” who gathered in fashionable New York city cafés and restaurants beginning at the end of Prohibition in 1933. Our Café Society Pride Series specifically celebrates members of the LGBTQA community and presents LGBTQA artists whose life and work promotes the beauty and importance of acceptance and inclusion.
