Contemporary Arts Project Gallery

In memory of Donald R Miller II Fine Art, who passed on two years ago today, I will be adding some photos of the beautiful, funny, gut-wrenching, and revolutionary things that he created. I am starting with the original Contemporary Arts Project Gallery in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in 1996 and 1997. There is more to come. I hope you will enjoy the ride. Sandra Holata Diehl

A.R.M.
Artists Resisting Mindlessness
Declaration of independent cultural resistance.

1. A.R.M. is not an organization, institution, or corporate political entity and is not controlled by any organization, institution, or corporate political entity, is not open for membership, does not accept dues is neither for profit or non- profit and does not operate under a generic set of governmental bylaws.
2. A.R.M. first and foremost is a piece of conceptual art created by two philosophically similar artists to serve their environmental/sociological /political agendas and independent intellectual cultural aesthetic.
3. A.R.M. represents preservation and continuum of intellectual culture and stands in opposition to destructive capitalist economics, technological cognitive numbness,
unnecessary utilization of violence and fear as a form of political/psychological persuasion and oppression, destruction of the environment, promotion of repressive politically correct social contracts, mass standardization and homogenization of the human animal being, corporate monopolization of the American/world consumer landscape, the institutionalizing, commercializing and sanitizing of fine art and culture and the constant propagation of popular culture by the mass media on society as its culture.
4. A.R.M. is animal rights and environment.
5. A.R.M. is action and metamorphic.
6. A.R.M. is paradox.
7. A.R.M. is.

A.R.M. proudly supports these comrades in advocacy:
National Anti-Vivisection Society, Natural Resource Defense Council, Defenders of Wildlife, Nature Conservancy, National Geographic Society, Arbor Day Foundation, National Wildlife Federation, and Ohio Environmental Council

Protect and serve the Great Mother
Stop animal cruelty
