Hi, WE’RE ART CURATORIAL INC
Founded in 2023, we are an organization rooted in the belief that art and media can be powerful tools for community revitalization and cultural preservation—especially in the face of displacement. Our work is centered on the people most impacted by the rapid transformation of East Austin, particularly the creatives whose presence, voices, and contributions are increasingly at risk of being pushed out or overlooked.
As curators, artists, producers, and developers, we are committed to creating spaces that uplift, empower, and reflect the communities we serve. Through creative placemaking, we showcase the brilliance of humanity and foster spaces where culture is not only celebrated, but protected.
Our mission is to build a vibrant, inclusive arts and media ecosystem that supports cultural continuity, honors community legacies, and addresses displacement head-on.
