TAOH Outdoor Gallery Community Guidlines
Respect Our Neighbors: Refrain from graffiti on properties outside TAOH Outdoor Gallery. Let’s keep this space a beloved community and creative cornerstone for all to enjoy.
No Illicit Drugs or Weapons: To ensure the safety and well-being of all visitors and participants, the use, possession, or display of illicit drugs and weapons within the gallery is strictly prohibited. This comprehensive rule is in place to create a secure and inviting environment for individuals and families from all walks of life. By prioritizing a space free from the dangers associated with illicit substances and weapons, we safeguard our community's health, safety, and comfort, ensuring that TAOH Outdoor Gallery remains a sanctuary for art, inspiration, and communal harmony.
Be Kind, Be Courteous, Be Creative: At the heart of TAOH Outdoor Gallery is a community built on respect, empathy, and innovation. We encourage everyone to embrace these principles in all interactions. Kindness and courtesy form the bedrock of our collective experience, fostering an environment where creativity can flourish without bounds. This rule is a reminder that the energy we bring into this space significantly impacts its vibrancy and inclusivity.
Racism, Sexism, Elitism, and Pretty Much All “Isms” Are Not Allowed: Our gallery is a sanctuary for expression free from the divisions and prejudices that too often fragment society. We firmly reject all forms of discrimination and bias, including but not limited to racism, sexism, and elitism. This rule underscores our commitment to an egalitarian community where art and expression are unmarred by societal "isms." By creating a space where these divisive attitudes are not tolerated, we cultivate a culture of acceptance and mutual respect.
Each One, Teach One. Help the Community Learn. No Kings. No Queens: This principle champions the idea of collective education and shared wisdom. We believe that everyone has something to learn and something to teach. By sharing knowledge and skills without hierarchy, we all grow together. This rule is a call to action for every member of our community to contribute to a learning environment where leadership is fluid, and authority is not centralized. It's about lifting each other up and recognizing the value in every contribution.
Leave No Trace (Post Painting). If You Brought It In, You Take It Out. Same as the Yard: Respect for our environment is paramount. This guideline applies the principles of "Leave No Trace" to our outdoor gallery, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of the space. Just as one would care for their own home, visitors and artists are asked to remove any trash or materials they bring in, ensuring that the gallery remains a pristine environment for all to enjoy. This rule is not just about cleanliness; it's about stewardship and the responsible use of shared spaces.
In sum, these rules are designed not to govern behavior, but to cultivate an atmosphere where art, nature, and community intersect harmoniously. By adhering to these principles, TAOH Outdoor Gallery remains a beacon of creativity, inclusivity, and respect.
