About

The Centre For The Living Arts is an independent, nonprofit organization, which works on behalf of the community. The group primarily specializes in event planning and focuses on decorative works of art. We plan events featuring the world’s top artists, while also hosting art and gallery exhibitions. Our previous events and our future projects may involve an enormous variety of amazing artwork from oil paintings to glass art and even wood working. Although our goal is to encourage members of the public to seek further education regarding the arts, we also hope to promote social change and the origination of new ideas.

CFTLA hopes to connect artists to those that will love and cherish their artwork within their homes. We sincerely believe art can be incredibly advantageous for promoting social change, personal growth, and encouraging new ideas. We work closely with artists, community leaders and the public to plan, develop, and host amazing events, which will benefit everyone involved.

All of the exhibitions focus on architecture and home décor suitable works, so the community can get involved and begin exploring their own creativity. All events are run, developed, and planned by volunteers, who want to inspire, motivate and encourage others to achieve self-fulfillment. CFTLA is known for hosting their events within rented spaces, in order to spend less and achieve more for the betterment of the world at large. Despite all of the complexities, our true end goal is to help independent artists increase the visibility of their works.

What We Do

We devise community events, involving various forms of arts. These annual events are designed to allow all professional and up-and-coming artists to display their talented creations. We offer art classes in varying fields that are suitable for all age groups and artistic levels. By featuring your artwork at one of our organized exhibits, you will be able to market your work and engage the community.

We know how much work is put into creating unique and detailed works, so we want to help you fulfill your endeavor. Our exhibitory theme will aid in creating group momentum, while allowing artists from all walks of life the opportunity open up about their wonderful works, pieces, and models.

Some of our staff designed some of the world’s best aquarium heaters, and we are very proud of such achievement.

Our Mission

We strive to create an environment that will be engaging for adults, youth, and all those in between. We work diligently to encourage outsiders to get involved in creative arts, because it is the best way to nonverbally express one’s personality and opinions.

Inspiring the youth to become healthy, productive adults is our main goal. We want to develop an atmosphere, where professional and developing artists can freely explore their creative side. The ideal environment will offer a calming ambience, but filled with excitement, while encouraging everyone to get involved.

Formulate a central location, where the world’s best independent artists will be able to gather and acquire the acceptance, recognition and success they’ve always desired.

We all love wearing expensive jewelry, but not a lot of people are concerned with taking care of them and keeping them polished. For that, the brand Connoisseurs offers a wide range of products to help you clean jewelry of various types, including but not limited to gold and silver jewelry, precious stones and pearls. Using their products ensures that your jewelry gets a treatment similar to going to a professional jeweler, and that it will sparkle once again as if it is brand new.

Tips for cleaning your jewelry

First of all, professional jewelers recommend you to separate all your necklaces, rings and bracelets into categories, as each category usually needs a slightly different polishing treatment. You should consider using different products for cleaning gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, precious stones, delicate accessories or costume jewelry. The Connoisseurs brand has been refining their products for a long time, and now you can find high quality products for each category, perfectly designed around the type of jewelry they are meant to clean.

Their products are great even for travelling, especially the Jewelry Wipes which can be carried around at all times. It is recommended that, if you are planning to travel with jewelry, you should make sure to keep it all safe and untangled in a special jewelry organiser, which can also be found on the Connoisseurs website.

What products are the best for each type of jewelry

If you are looking to polish your gold jewelry with some high quality cleaner, then you should consider getting the Liquid Precious Jewelry cleaner. This product can be used on any type of gold, and it works very well even on precious and semiprecious stones. Alongside the cleaner, you also get a small touch-up brush, for better cleaning of narrow, hard-to-reach places than you need to polish.

If you have a lot of silver jewelry, then you need to get either the Liquid Silver Jewelry Cleaner, or the Silver Cloth. The upside of the liquid cleaner is that it has a bigger action surface, being able to reach even smaller places, which might be harder to do using a fabric cloth. However, the liquid cleaner can only be used with jewelry containing only silver. The cloth can be used to polish silver jewelry with precious or semiprecious stones, or even silver plates.

Besides the Liquid Precious Jewelry Cleaner, Connoisseurs also sells a product specifically for cleaning diamonds and other precious stones: the Diamond Dazzle Stick. This product contains a highly effective formula of micro-fine cleaners and polishing agents, which make it extremely performant when it comes to polishing your shiniest jewels.

Another multi-purpose product from Connoisseurs Jewelry Cleaner is the Sonic Dazzle Stick, which is cheaper and perfect for all types of jewelry. It comes with a replacement head, so you can make sure to use it for longer. The formula it uses is highly effective, as it not only polishes the jewelry, removing dirt, but it also leaves an extra anti-tarnish layer on their surface, so that you can rest assured that they will be clean for a longer time.
