MISSION STATEMENT
Anyone benefiting from humanity is therefore obligated to its preservation. This social contract is the premise on which the
Society for the Preservation of Humanity was founded in 1993. In this, "The Age of Mediocrity," intellectual standardizing
is devolving human capacity to critically think. SPH produces ARTFUNCTIONS, an ongoing series of exhibitions, performances,
slide lectures and creative process demonstrations especially created to stimulate people's imaginations in the effort to
create a healthy society and make life on earth extraordinary.
IN THE NAME OF CREATION
An idea formulated in the human mind is just as miraculous
as the creation of the universe itself-
and the exchange of that idea from one person to another
is no less amazing than the creation of life.
Join SPH ARTFUNCTIONS at various locations as we transmit ideas through visual art.
