Your donation fuels this work.
LiberArte is a 501(c)(3) New Earth nonprofit arts organization advancing social, climate, and racial justice through creativity rooted in ancestral wisdom. We believe artists are essential leaders in addressing today’s most urgent global challenges—because real change requires not only policy and technology, but culture, storytelling, and emotional connection.
Your donation makes this work possible.
Our Mission & Why It Matters
LiberArte nurtures artists as visionary leaders who reconnect communities to creativity, land-based knowledge, and slower, more intentional ways of living. Grounded in Indigenous and culturally connected traditions, our programs support healing, cultural continuity, and collective transformation.
In a time of climate crisis, burnout, and disconnection, artists help us remember what is possible.
Why LiberArte Exists
The world is facing overlapping crises—climate collapse, systemic injustice, and social disconnection. While many solutions focus on science, technology, and policy, they often fail to engage people’s hearts, lived experiences, and sense of belonging.
Research shows that storytelling, cultural exchange, and the arts increase empathy, resilience, and public engagement. Yet artists remain drastically underfunded—receiving only 4% of U.S. philanthropic support, with many living below national income averages. This limits their ability to lead the transformative work they are uniquely positioned to do.
LiberArte exists to change that. By nurturing artists as catalysts for transformation, we reveal creativity as one of the most powerful—and overlooked—solutions to our most pressing global challenges.
Impact Story: Tambacum
Tambacum is an Afro-Colombian traditional music group from Nuquí, Chocó—one of the most biodiverse yet historically under-resourced regions in the world. In a territory where more than 60% of the population lives below the poverty line and many lack access to clean water, electricity, and quality education, Tambacum sustains a musical tradition rooted in resistance, care for the Earth, and cultural pride.
When LiberArte first met Tambacum, the group was attempting to revive a beloved local festival with no funding and declining youth participation—challenges shaped by systemic barriers that disconnect artists from the cultural and climate solutions they are uniquely positioned to lead.
LiberArte partnered with Tambacum to secure government support, revitalize the festival, and produce their first-ever U.S. tour. More than 2,000 people attended their performances across multiple cities. Audiences were deeply moved—reconnecting with heritage, recognizing shared struggles, and engaging in conversations about climate justice and cultural survival.
Shortly after returning home, Tambacum was invited to perform at the United Nations COP16, recognizing their role not only as artists, but as ecological and cultural stewards.
This is the impact we work to scale. When artists are resourced, they don’t just perform—they mobilize communities, educate across borders, and help shift culture toward justice and care.
How Your Donation Creates Change
Your support directly fuels our three core program areas:
🌱 Grantmaking
We redistribute resources to underfunded artists advancing racial, social, and climate justice—supporting creative changemakers and building a living archive of climate and cultural solutions in action.
✨ Nurturing Dreams
We provide artists and cultural leaders with coaching, mentorship, education, and professional development. When artists are supported both internally and externally—and equipped with clear, values-aligned goals—they are able to achieve outcomes greater than they once imagined.
🤝 Community Building
We produce performances, festivals, workshops, and retreats that transform climate and justice issues into shared emotional experiences—making sustainability personal, relational, and actionable.
Your donation isn’t just a gift. It’s a catalyst for systemic and cultural transformation.
