TAC is ​Connecting People and Uniting Talents

The Transcendental Arts Council plants seeds of inspiration and then we watch art grow.

In the past fifteen years projects developed by the TAC for various communities have made local headlines in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area including Frederick - MD, Martinsburg - WV, and Loudoun County - Virginia.

To increase the community's awareness of the arts, the TAC showcases visual arts exhibitions at art friendly commercial venues and by partnering with galleries and art centers. TAC supports and promotes the arts through our Web site, newsletters, and publishing division

TAC unites people from various backgrounds in a targeted community to work together on the making of large creative projects that takes the form of "Art." These projects can be as diverse as:

  • Landscape Art
  • Murals
  • Film Production
  • Fictional Literature
  • Theatre Performance
  • Musical Performance
  • and Others
This piece of art was found in the TAC archives.  This poster was created by Steven Meyers who was a high school student at the time.  He was a friend of TAC, but lived some distance away so he did what he could to support our efforts from his home.  A wonderful piece that incorporates some symbolic TAC subject matter including: our logo (at the time), a gas mask, the "Flowering of a Dream - 2000" maze design Steven was an amazing artist, unfortunately we lost touch with him.  Hopefully he will one day see this and will contact us.
TAC develops artistic projects and programs that will allow for creative expression to flourish within the targeted communities that we work in, while also catering to the various age groups and professions.

LOOK WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Art For Charity Month - Art Auction

For the 1st time since 2000's "Flowering of a Dream" community collaboration we are pleased to be working toward a national event to recognize fifty 501(c)(3) not-for-charity organizations around the country.  These charities of choice serve the people of this great nation and in some cases also people of the world through their hard work and passion for doing the right thing.  Read more about what we are doing with AFCM by clicking on the link to the right:

More from our founder:

From artist David F. Heatwole:  'I am very excited to share the news that The Umbrella Offering program has reached Gulu, Uganda thanks to Finding The Way.
     The Umbrella Offering program that began with approximately 160 volunteers at Turner Ashby High School in Bridgewater, Virginia who created the first Umbrella Offering project.  Their project, a great big fish, was created to work as if throwing a stone in a calm pond.  With that one project and the trust that those students and staff that contributed to making that project possible I have continued to share their project with others in order to encourage other schools and communities to work together to make art and to unite as many people in their community as possible, one project at a time.
     My promise to the volunteers from Turner Ashby High School has been honored and now with this one panel being created internationally really excites me to continue onward."
     Please join us in sending a team to Uganda to work with the people in making art as well as to help Finding The Way make a difference in this country.  Read more about their mission at www.findingthewayafrica.org
