Our Mission
Explore Art Project (aka Explore Art) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
Explore Art Aims for Inclusivity and Cultural Connection
We aim to make art accessible to everyone, offering a fresh, dynamic approach to understanding global artistic expressions. By spotlighting underrepresented artists and communities, we present art as a powerful medium for storytelling, one that reflects the depth and diversity of human experiences across the world. At its heart, Explore Art's vision is building bridges across cultures and fostering an environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion thrive.
Since our inception in 2015, our goal is to:
-
Elevate visibility for marginalized and underserved visual artists
-
Expand access to art for historically excluded communities
-
Empower and educate young creatives through mentorship programs
-
Provide impactful internship opportunities for the next generation of artists and cultural innovators
Through our magazine collections and immersive programs (Explore Art Magazine, Explore Art Rural American Magazine, Exploring Culture Magazine, Legacy Magazine, Explore Art Talk, and Explore Art Wave - Gen Z) Explore Art creates a vibrant tapestry of perspectives, from Indigenous traditions to rural artists connecting with their landing in the communities, and to urban street art, allowing audiences to connect deeply with the creativity that defines cultures. Our aim is not just to highlight the beauty of art but to uncover the cultural narratives that give it meaning, inviting people of all backgrounds to engage with the world's artistic heritage.
