ICON CREATIVE SUMMIT 2008

















To try to articulate this one event is quite difficult...but I'm going to try and do this amazing event justice by attempting.
Picture a platform where the vision and heartbeat is to activate and display untapped creativity in one place over a period of 3 days. A place where "pure"creativity is encouraged to be activated and expressed.
Icon Creative Summit is that place and for 3 days we're tapping into the creative realm to unleash creativity that has never been seen, heard or experienced before! Thats a bold statement in itself as creativity can be so subjective...what is considered art to one is junk to another. What is new? Isn't creativity recycled forms of expression expressing the same message but in different ways?

So how do we clearly define what is art? What is new? What is creative? I'm going to use Bob Marley as an example, his music was timeless and when you hear the music and lyrics it hits a chord in your spirit that supersedes time, space and understanding. Thats why people despite age, culture, religion or creed count this man as a musical icon...his music is a language that is understood universally. It connects with your heart and spirit in a positive way.

Icon Creative Summit attempts to select artists who have broken through into this realm of creativity and have tapped into something that is eternal.
We'll be showcasing music, fashion, dance, film, visual arts, performing arts and more!
In doing so we want the audience to be impacted, changed, inspired and left questioning...where does creativity come from?
