What are we doing?

We are shining light through art and poetry to provoke dialogue, open & expand minds to promote inquiry, curiosity, introspection and connection.

Who we are?

Court Lurie/JV8 is a queer, nonbinary, Semetic artist and poet. They have an established, 23 year career, as a contemporary abstract painter. The images that make up “radiate” are created from their original drawings and poems.

What is our goal?

Our intention is to build a healing & creative community retreat center and homestead; centering folks on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. We are launching “radiate” to raise funds for mental health resources, artist fees, land, programming, and administration.
