Arts, culture and heritage: essential elements

We believe in the power of the arts and museums to present diverse experiences, generate critical conversations and encourage new perspectives.

 

Activate your institution's role by taking steps to care for your collection or implementing arts programming.

Centering artists: from vision to fruition

Artists are innovators, creative thinkers and producers of culture. Their work can activate community spaces, spark new perspectives and make us feel alive.

 

We love working with artists to catalyze your vision and find opportunities to sustain your practice. Whether directly supporting artists in applying for opportunities or working with organizations to develop artist-centered projects, we recognize the social and financial value of artist's work.
