Therefore, our  fellowship shares a desire to support, encourage, and explore the artistic experiences of creative individuals and groups as they go forward toward their dreams.

Mission Statement

How The Forwardian Arts Society Supports The Arts

Although we are based in Monroe County, PA, The Forwardian Arts Society is a world wide fellowship welcoming everyone who wishes to become a part of it no  matter where they are or what their lifes condition may be. Never let anything become a barrier between you and your love for the arts.

As our mission statement suggests, The Forwardian Arts Society is a fellowship for people who love the arts. We define ourselves as a fellowship as compared to an organization because organization suggests some form of hierarchy exists where some members would have the right (or assume to have the right) to tell other member what to do. On the other hand, a fellowship suggests every member is equal to one another and each members conduct in The Forwardian Arts Society is only governed by their love for the arts.

We invite everyone who love the arts to be a part of The Forwardian Arts Society. Its free with the only requirements for membership is to have a love for the arts and a desire to be a part of The Forwardian Arts Society. We have a monthly online newsletter we would be honored to email you. We also have a survey so we can learn more about you and your love for the arts. Please contact to receive our newsletter and/or survey indicating which one (s) you would like us to send you.

 

The Forwardian Arts Society Friend and Facilitator Paul (aka The Forwardian Dude) travels all around experiencing a multitude of adventures throughout the artistic community. You can see him almost anywhere there's an artists' reception being held, a play being presented, or a concert being performed with his camera and note pad. He posts his articles and reviews along  with the photographs he takes on his Social Networks. He says, "The reason I do this is twofold. One is to help promote the artist and the venue through these sites and second to help people who can't attend these events for whatever reason to still partake of them." You'll find summaries of Paul's Recent Adventures listed below. Please feel free to read the complete article or review as well as view more pictures by clicking on the links provided.

LITERARY AND ARTS MAGAZINE "FORWARDIAN"
THE STORY OF A MAGAZINE

Paul was interviewed during The Petraology 233 Show which was aired live on The Pocono A great deal of Internet Broadcast Company on  Wednesday May 5th, 2010 to let their listeners know the magazine was about to become available to them. It was a lot of fun and it was good to get the word out about our wonderful publication. Here are the pictures taken during the interview.

 
 

AND THEN IT HAPPENED

Starbucks Coffeehouse in Stroudsburg, PA at 1:37pm on Wednesday May 19th, 2010. We celebrated over a slice of Pizza at the neighboring  Venutos Old World Pizza and was that ever good. FiLow showed up with his laptop and really got into it with his new philosophy thing. Sounds boring but I can tell you we really got into this website about what exactly Nothing is. I actually love it. It's written in a very cool way that makes heavy philosophical points easy to understand. We did a lot of heavy thinking. I then went on my heroic journey (well, ok, maybe heroic isn't the right word here but I felt I deserved a little Hyperbole) to begin distributing the magazine throughout the town.
Many Stores and restaurant owners gave me a curious look saying they have never heard of our magazine. I was tempted to say, Well, duh but common sense and the desire to share Forwardian with their customers kept my instincts at bay. Ive placed about 200 copies this first day and handed out several more to people whom I knew and just happen to pass by while walking the streets.
Within the next few weeks, more copies of the publication were distributed until only a small handful was left. It was soon after this did we receive requests from our distribution sites for more copies as they quickly ran out of them and people were asking for their copy. We were  saddened by our inability to comply with their request until we realized how cool it was that so many people wanted what we made.
Here are pictures taken during the first day of "Forwardian."

 
 

Since that day, The Forwardian Arts Society has published 7 additional issues with our 8th issue made available online in June 2014. It  continues to be a great adventure and we thank everyone who has contributed their work and talents to bring this wonderful publication  together. We're looking forwardian to working with you as we prepare our next issue.
