Our History
Established in 2021 by Maria Napoles, the Art Communities In Action Foundation was founded to give back to the community and address the need for new opportunities in the arts within the most vulnerable communities. Recognizing art's power to catalyze positive community impact, Maria's vision was to help society through an intergenerational approach, fostering collaboration between the private and public sectors. This dedication to using art for social change has brought together a diverse group of collaborators, creating transformative impact and expanding inclusive initiatives within the community.
Our Team
Our diverse team at the Art Communities In Action Foundation includes seasoned professionals and young art tutors from various backgrounds in arts, culture, and community engagement. Led by experienced curators and collaborators, we are dedicated to promoting Latin American art and nurturing emerging talents, all while harnessing art's transformative power to drive positive change. Our greatest strength is collaboration, and our team continues to grow, enriching our mission with new perspectives and expertise.
