Building Inclusive and Diverse Creative Places for Art Engagement
Our initiative focuses on creating inclusive and diverse creative spaces for art engagement, rooted in community development principles. We aim to invest in areas with limited access to the arts, fostering collaboration, diversity, and sustainability within communities. Through socially engaged practices, we strive to bring positive change by empowering local artists and residents to lead and participate in meaningful art experiences.
