THE USPF ARTS ADVOCACY SERIES

is grounded on the strong belief that USPian artists, scholars, and arts & culture enthusiasts have an undeniably strong influence in transforming the society so that when they gather to share their passion for beauty, life and truth, they inevitably magnify inspiration, intensify understanding, and catapult positive effect on a person’s world, a family’s culture, and a society’s psyche
intends to engage the USPian alumni community including the little alumni, young alumni, pre-alumni, graduate alumni, parent-alumni, teacher-alumni, employee-alumni, and alumni legacies in the promotion and advancement of arts
creates an avenue for budding artists who need a secured channel for their original creative work as well as their creative adaptation (as in  cross genre works of literature, etc.), translation (as in translingual works, etc.), and arrangement (as in music, etc.)
builds an avenue for experienced artists to collaborate with budding artists, scholars, and arts & culture enthusiasts
educates the USPian alumni community on the significance and contribution of novel, creative expressions
dissuades the intellectual crime “plagiarism”
