What we do

Our Programs

We believe creativity is the catalyst for transformation. Artists are the undertapped leaders of social change and when they have the funding, space, and community they need, they thrive as architects of a just and liberated world.

Cultural Event Production

Noche Andina
Immersive seasonal gatherings honoring Andean music, ancestral instruments, culinary heritage, and Andean solidarity.
Event Partnerships
Sponsoring, and co-producing regional diaspora celebrations with grassroots partners, including Columbia County Sanctuary Movement's Hudson Latinx Festival.
