Artists Manifesto
To be an Artist is not defined by ones ability to draw or paint or sculpt. Membership in the confraternity of Art is distinguished by the courage to use ones skills and talents to unveil Truth. Our understanding of Universal Truths is an ever expanding and evolving endeavor that requires the specialized knowledge and extreme perseverance of disciplinary Artists such as biologists, chemists, sociologists, and mathematicians. Simultaneously it requires the understanding and interpretation of interdisciplinary Artists such as painters, performers, and writers to find those disciplines and subjects that speak the Truth and creatively interpret those discoveries into a format for multidisciplinary consumption.
To be an Artist is to be passionate about the Truth.
Spilled, Inc is a collection of Artists with different disciplinary and creative backgrounds and passions. We believe that Art is a necessary function in an enlightened society. We exist to support Artists, morally and financially, in their passionate quests to discover and disseminate Truth about ourselves, our relationships, our world, and our universe. We recognize the imperfections of our current world and we recognize the imperfections of the past and, acknowledging those mistakes, we strive to move into new realms of thinking and existing rather than continue cyclic imperfections.
We are Spilled, Inc.
There is no use crying over it. There is no way to clean it all up. All you can do is look at the image it leaves and interpret what you see.
We have something to say.

Manifesto written by Roberta Kolpakas.
Perception is not a function of common intellect, no matter what the quotient level.
It is an exquisitely rare gift, angelically dispensed only to a select few.
The real artist can form expressions based on perception through any and all media available to him, he is not bounded or restricted by convention.
“Sawn cows” for sawn cows’ sake don’t come into it, no matter how lauded by a vacuous establishment the vacuity may be.
Art without perception is a mind without knowledge. Multidisciplinary education, via structured university or self achieved, is not a rare gift but a rare choice. The capacity for creating art is available to all persons, the strength or wisdom or bravery to choose that path, opposed to other easier roads, is what is lacking.
Establishment is artists dreams wished on the blind.
If it causes one person to have one moment of transcendent understanding it is art.
