         The reason behind this dream is that, he saw the need for artist to have a platform to express their talents. With the lack of stages, this will also give an opportunity for those who appreciate art a chance to see all forms of art in a collective setting. Chandler sets on doing this by hosting and organizing various events with different themes with all forms of art performed and displayed.

            This dream manifested when the young artist himself struggled to find an outlet for his own work. Therefore, Chandler wants to create this dream. He states that he wants his company to be known for quality artwork, excellent professionalism, organization, as well as providing an opportunity for artist to thrive.

The core values that underpin his work are honesty, hard work, love, patience, discipline, and determination. Chandler finally states that, he measures his success simply by if any and everyone is willing to show up, support, and appreciate his work he is grateful. The things that he says that are missing is an art studio, more artist, and people who appreciate them.
