The *Silver Rose Society
For lovers of Beauty who wish to share their values with
others and support the work of ART in an especially generous
manner, we have established "The Silver Rose Society.” When
in the history of mankind have we ever known of an era—except the twentieth+ century—when people who loved beauty
would have to stand up and say so? Well, so be it. But since
we are supporters of Beauty, we can hardly wear a “badge”
declaring our position unless that badge, itself, bespeaks
the “Beauty” of our cause. Therefore, rather than tee-shirts
or bumper stickers, we offer the historic (and romantic)
symbol of Beauty: a simple but perfect rose.
The late sculptor Frederick Hart conceived the idea of a
Silver Rose stickpin (suitable for men’s or ladies’
apparel), and sculptor/jewelry designer Gerd Hessness
designed and executed an exquisite piece of jewelry
exclusively for ART. This subtle and silent declaration of
values may result in discussions decidedly not so subtle or
silent, but either way it translates into publicity for ART.
These pins will also create camaraderie among Beauty Lovers
and become unique collector’s mementos for our high-level
donors.
Individuals or corporations who donate $5,000 or more will
have their name inscribed on the bronze bas-relief plaque
which bears the Silver Rose symbol along with the names of
other qualifying donors. This plaque (designed and donated
to ART by sculptor Michael Wilkinson and cast as a gift by Elliot Gantz Foundry) now hangs in ART’s New York office. Silver
Rose Society members are also privileged guests at special
ART events, such as private art exhibit opening parties and
our annual Board “Gathering of the Rose Table”
Luncheon at The National Arts Club in New York—the oldest
and most prestigious private arts club in America—all of
which provides enjoyment and companionship among committed
individuals with like-minded art values.
Silver Rose Society members will also receive the sterling
silver rose stickpin, signifying that you are a member of
the Society and a staunch supporter of Beauty and humanistic
values
in all of the fine arts. Ice-breaker, conversation-getter
and publicity tool, this publicly displayed symbol
stimulates both controversy and compatibility, but as it
becomes recognizable throughout the country, people will
begin to learn more not only about ART but also realize that
certain of us are standing up for our aesthetic "rights."
By wearing this beautiful rose stickpin, we proclaim our
dedication to Beauty and to a positive attitude toward the
world and humankind, to live with grace and the conviction
that joy and happiness are possible, and to champion the
values of the American Renaissance for the Twenty-first
Century foundation not with a sword but with a rose.
