Mission and History

A social enterprise that advocates for using art and architecture as tools to engage with the local communities

We empower graduate artists and architects who are passionate about sharing their creativity with people, by supporting them to unlock their potential and providing them with a platform to market their works.

Through our exhibitions, seminars, workshops, talks and online events we connect artists and architects with communities, organisations, and decision makers.

We collaborate with universities, companies, councils, NGOs, art centres, festivals, and museums.
