ARTOLUTION INC
Brooklyn, New York
Artolution is an international nonprofit organization that uses collaborative public art to drive positive social change, build community, and foster healing in crisis-affected communities. Founded on the belief that art is a powerful tool for connection and transformation, Artolution brings together youth, families, educators, and local artists to co-create large-scale murals, sculptures, and digital art that reflect shared stories and local challenges. Our work is rooted in inclusivity, empathy, and participation. We work across some of the world’s most vulnerable settings—from refugee camps and urban slums to post-conflict zones and underserved neighborhoods—empowering communities through year-round programming focused on: • Mental health and trauma recovery through creative expression • Youth empowerment and leadership development • Social inclusion and cross-cultural dialogue • Gender equality and women’s voices • Education in emergencies and community-based learning Our initiatives are led by local artists and teaching fellows who are trained and supported to deliver sustainable, high-impact arts programming in their own communities. We believe in shifting power to those with lived experience and amplifying the voices of people often left out of global conversations. Artolution is also a pioneer in blending art and technology through immersive platforms like Virtual Bridges, which uses virtual reality and augmented reality to connect displaced youth across borders and transform public spaces into interactive, community-owned experiences. To date, Artolution has impacted tens of thousands of lives in over 35 countries, with long-term programs in Jordan, Uganda, Colombia, Bangladesh, and the United States. We’ve partnered with global organizations like UNICEF, UNHCR, and GIZ, and collaborated with schools, shelters, hospitals, and grassroots networks to ensure that creativity and healing reach those who need it most. Our vision is a world where every community has the tools to tell its own story, transform public space, and turn creativity into resilience.

Our mission is to empower artists, youth, and community members to become agents of transformation through the co-creation of meaningful public art. Whether through a large-scale mural in a refugee camp, a sculpture ... Más información
