Beauty Manifesto

All people have the right to beauty.

Beauty is personal – what is true, meaningful, or significant is based on a person’s lived and shared experiences.

Beauty can be appreciated for a moment or an extended period of time; length of time does not diminish or enhance the value.

Beauty exists in all forms - created, curated, and natural.

Beauty is everywhere; find beauty, everyday.

Beauty can be found in the ordinary; look beyond the precious and rare.

Use your own words to describe beauty; they need not be special or exclusive.

Beauty fosters connections between individuals, others and greater society; share your thoughts and experiences with others.

Beauty does not need to be created intentionally for others to find it.

The pursuit and /or expression of beauty does not diminish or devalue individual or collective suffering.
