A few words about
What We Do
THE ARTSHIP PADDLES CREATIVITY
We believe the transformative power of the arts
“If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out and meet it.”
― Jonathan Winters.
We take on art projects that come our way, that express our vision… and we find a way to pay for them, so every aspect of the BPO including the budget is defined within the framework of possibility.
