The Art of Elysium gives no money to needy children.

Actually they provide arts workshops for hospitalized children and the elderly

All its money goes into arts programs for actors.

Actors who volunteer to teach arts to or perform for/with hospitalized children and the elderly

Their programs are for:

Target demographics: At-Risk Youth, Special Education Schools, Special Needs Community Centers for Adults, Youth dealing with Diabetes, Senior Community Centers, Homeless Adults & Elders, Homeless Youth and Families, Hospitalized Youth and Adults, Subacute Care Facilities, Visually Impaired

this fake charity.

It's fake only in that you are lying about what they do. If you have evidence they are not doing what they claim, you can file a Form 13909 with the IRS. For those who what to know exactly what Art of Elysium reports to the IRS and how they represent themselves, you can go here

http://www.theartofelysium.org/financials-2/

None of Elysium's millions goes to needy children

You seem to suffering under the illusion that you can't have a non profit, tax exempt organization set up for the arts. This is incorrect.

Here is the list of types of Arts Programs can be tax exempt.

A Arts, Culture, and Humanities A01 Alliance/Advocacy Organizations A02 Management & Technical Assistance A03 Professional Societies & Associations A05 Research Institutes and/or Public Policy Analysis A11 Single Organization Support A12 Fundraising and/or Fund Distribution A19 Nonmonetary Support N.E.C.* A20 Arts, Cultural Organizations—Multipurpose A23 Cultural/Ethnic Awareness A25 Arts Education/Schools A26 Arts Council/Agency A30 Media, Communications Organizations A31 Film, Video A32 Television A33 Printing, Publishing A34 Radio A40 Visual Arts Organizations A50 Museums & Museum Activities A51 Art Museums A52 Children's Museums A54 History Museums A56 Natural History, Natural Science Museums A57 Science & Technology Museum A60 Performing Arts A61 Performing Arts Centers A62 Dance A63 Ballet A65 Theater A68 Music A69 Symphony Orchestras A6A Opera A6B Singing Choral A6C Music Groups, Bands, Ensembles A6E Performing Arts Schools A70 Humanities Organizations A80 Historical Societies and Related Activities A84 Commemorative Events A90 Arts Service Activities/ Organizations A99 Other Art, Culture, Humanities Organizations/Services N.E.C.*

Art of Elysium is both a A90 and an A25

Before flinging around charges, you should learn about Arts organizations that are 501 c3's http://www.taxexemptsolutions.com/qualifying-for-501c3-status-as-an-arts-organization/

I challenge you to go through Elysium's tax returns for the last four years and SHOW where ANY money has gone to needy children:

So why parade children with disabilities if it's really an 'arts' organisation? That's the hypocrisy of The Art of Elysium. There'd be no problem if it were honest, and say that it collected donations for the arts. Instead, it muddies the waters and leads people to believe that they give money to needy children, which they don't do.

If Elysium is transparent (which it isn't) and honest, why doesn't it 'honour' 'arts' people? Why do they ride on the coat tails of people who are perceived to donate to needy causes eg Amber Heard?

Go through its Instagram and other social media outlets, there's nothing about giving it needy kids (because it doesn't); it's all about glamorous gala events with B-list celebs. There's a lot of self-congratulations but not much else.

Target demographics: At-Risk Youth, Special Education Schools, Special Needs Community Centers for Adults, Youth dealing with Diabetes, Senior Community Centers, Homeless Adults & Elders, Homeless Youth and Families, Hospitalized Youth and Adults, Subacute Care Facilities, Visually Impaired

lmao. Again, I challenge you to show where ONE CENT went to any of the above.

This is Elysium admitting that they don't spend any money on children, but simply enlist 'volunteers' to do some outreach work with children:

The Art of Elysium encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent those in the community who can benefit from the life affirming and inspiring benefits of the arts.

Not only does Elysium NOT give any of its money to needy children, but only 66 per cent goes to its arts programs. Check out those tax returns and see the hefty pay packet that founder Jennifer Howell gives herself. Elysium provides no audited financials prepared by independent accountant. It scores a meagre two out of four for transparency, and financial accountability and transparency. https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16584

You can look at their 990's and find out what they do and where they spend their money. In 2016, they spent 742,184 on the following

WEEKLY ART, MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHY AND THEATER WORKSHOPS FOR HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN AT HOSPITALS. PROGRAMS SHOWCASE VOLUNTEER ARTISTS AND HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN'S ART WHICH BUILD SELF-ESTEEM TO HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN BATTLING CRITICAL ILLNESS AND PHYSICAL DEFORMITIES.

So why parade children with disabilities if it's really an 'arts' organisation?

You still don't understand a single thing about them.

They put on arts programs in hospitals for children with disabilities. Among other things. Kids act in plays alongside real actors or learn music or comedy.

That's the hypocrisy of The Art of Elysium. There is no hypocrisy, you have simply chosen not learn what they do.

So then you can go and see if there is evidence of them doing what they claim to do. I can find evidence that they have done programs in Mount Sinai Hospital, Children's Hospital in LA, the Epilepsy Foundation, Kaiser Permanente UCLA-Santa Monica, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, City of Hope, We Can Pediatric Brain Tumor Network, Totally Kids Specialty Healthcare and LAC USC Medical Center.

You can find lots of info from volunteers http://adamcarolla.com/chla/ https://youtu.be/4vloMnwOgnY?t=23 http://www.chicmamala.com/post/89332902721/art-of-elysium-ideal-happiness

The website for LA County said they run 100 workshops a month in hospitals and schools.

Anything associated with James Franco is suspect. I wish we could take that scum down! He hangs out with Kenneth Anger and all of his connections to spirit cooking and crazy shit.

Lotus Flower in Egyptian Culture The lotus flower was one of the most important symbols in the ancient Egyptian religion. Called as “seshen”, the flower was a symbol of Upper Egypt and represented creation and rebirth.

It was closely associated with the Sun god, Atum-Ra as it was also a symbol of the sun. Later, the lotus flower was associated with Nefertum, the god of healing, beauty, perfume and fragrance. Nefertum/Nefertem was often depicted in ancient Egyptian art wearing a crown made of lotus flowers.

Much like its use in Buddhism, the lotus flower was considered as a symbol of rebirth and recreation since it closes its petals at night and opens them back again in the morning.

This is also the reason why the lotus flower was associated with the dead entering the underworld to be reborn there.

Another use of lotus flower in Egyptian culture is related to the cult of Osiris, funerals, the mummification process and The Four Sons of Horus.

The Four Sons of Horus were born from a lotus flower according to Egyptian mythology and they were depicted sitting on a lotus flower in several ancient Egyptian artworks. In addition to that, the goddess Isis was believed to be born out of a lotus flower. Remember they are sun worshipers. The lotus closes its petals at night. The symbol of purity is our children. The mud at the bottom of the pond that it grows from is the common man to these sick freaks. Go to the grocery store and take note of every brand that has sun symbolism on the package, and then find out the parent company, main stockholders, ect. They are paying homage to Akenhaten (Moses) the exiled Egyptian god king who was most likely an inbred hermaphrodite. Is that shoving it in your face enough for you?

Amber Heard wore a dress that invokes the image of Baphomet. Picture of dress can be seen here: http://www.hawtcelebs.com/amber-heard-at-the-art-of-elysium-heaven-in-los-angeles-01-06-2018/ - former wife of Johnny Depp - once dated Elon Musk - suspected to be the man in the goat head here -- https://www.reddit.com/r/CBTS_Stream/comments/7n3015/eye_of_ra_head_covered_in_gold_follow_the_white/

The furry scene was started to hide under aged people having sex with older people in my opinion. Once it took off as a deviant fad, it made it's own cover.

You never have to go far to find the inevitable https://imgoat.com/uploads/09bf41544a/74032.jpg and https://imgoat.com/uploads/09bf41544a/74033.jpg both from their instagram.

Also seen some of the usual suspects like Marina Abramovich on there.
