Civil Art is a nonprofit uniquely led by an artist, whose active international practice brings firsthand creative and professional insight to our mission. Our leadership spans the entire art ecosystem—galleries, museums, law, finance, and auction houses—providing deep expertise and an expansive network across artists, institutions, patrons, and corporations.
Combining the founder’s creative insight with this broad professional reach, Civil Art reimagines how cultural organizations can turn creative practice into lasting impact, ensuring the next generation of API voices shapes contemporary culture.
Origin Story
The success of At the Table revealed a powerful insight: while the desire to support the API community was abundant, the infrastructure to do so effectively was missing. Civil Art became a catalyst for this support, providing a platform through which individuals could contribute not just financially, but also through service, mentorship, and creative collaboration. The project’s impact reflected the collective efforts of artists, gallerists, financial institutions, writers, editors, publishers, registrars, and patrons, demonstrating the transformative potential of unified community action.
Since its inception, Civil Art has established an impactful foundation of programming that directly benefits our stakeholders and exemplifies what’s possible when we work together in service of collective progress. As a growing ecosystem, Civil Art enables artists and allies from all corners of the creative community to offer support and build sustainable systems of care. While individual efforts may feel limited, together—as a unified, intentional community—we can move mountains.
