They say if you don’t put your dreams out there in the Universe, and shout out clearly what you want, it will not happen. I know for experience that a dream without action it’s only a daydream. In my life, I have realized all of my dreams just because of the actions I took, except for one dream. It hasn’t come true yet, it is still hanging in my head and I see it with my eye open.
The dream is about my desire to open an art school community where teachers can rent a space to teach their arts, whatever it might be, a community where experts, teachers, speakers, and inspirational people unleash their knowledge, train new minds and leave their legacy. It is a community of people young and young at heart who want to create and live in beauty. I envision theatre art, visual art, painting, music, fabric art, glasses, sculpting, modeling, writing, fashion design, interior, robotic, flowers design, design with new and old material, the list is infinite. The building I need to host all the activities is a large antique home or an industrial building, with many floors, a courtyard with fountains for relaxation, for thinking in seclusion, or for meeting people in the fresh air surrounded by odorous plants and flowers. I want a space to have wines, food, and music always available.
I found a similar image of how the building in my head should look like. The street is colorful, surrounding buildings are old or historical, they are mostly made of stones and a lot of trees line the streets. I would like it to lead to the Sea because it is easy for me to think of opening the windows and smell the salty Sea.

I see a pristine interior of the old house in my head, tastefully decorated and peaceful for all the artists who will be creating their art there.
In my head, I see a lot happening in my art community building: fashion shows, photo shooting, filming, art exhibitions, theatre representations, musicals, I see artists growing and only happy people. I see no restrictions in learning and teaching (everything will be permissible within the legality), my art community is a free world.
The bottom area at the street level is a selling point, where artists can sell all they produce and the very last top of the building is my home with a breathtaking view. I will sit on the throne of the arts and feel as if I am the “Grand Pubah of the Universe”.
I know exactly how to make a profit and turn my art community into a super desirable business, a bit like the “Montessori” of the arts. I will not discuss the business terms now. My intention is to write and express out loud what I want for my future. Yes, it is an ambitious dream! Are you listening Universe?
Below, my byline says I am a storyteller and I am, but this piece I wrote is my burning desire. What is your biggest dream and is it achievable? Ciao,
Valentina

What a beautiful dream! I too dream of a creative community, and an inspiring environment in which to make art. You have such a clear vision, very ambitious but completely reasonable and much-needed in our world!

Christine, I would like it to happen in a familiar territory, where it feels right to me, possibly near the Sea.
Good for you to write on your book diligently every day, it will get done if you continue this way.😀

Bravissima Wonderful Exciting Eccelent!! Thank you! You are inventing the new by re-inventing the old which I love and the universe needs the times of the Rinascimento again where all of the people of the arts and the scholars of the great educators of historical times came together and these are the genes of your ancestors because these things happened in your beautiful Puglia and you can make them happen again here in your new home and we will all benefit. Grazie dal cuore mio.

Beautiful words Kathy, really beautiful.
I haven’t thought of me in terms of Rinascimento, I guess you are right, it is all in my genes.
