Creating and cultivating opportunities for cultural connections that support living traditions and energize vibrant communities.
We are creating a more empathetic world—where people respect and celebrate one another’s cultural expressions—through collaborations in communities like yours that promote cultural exchange and understanding, and that honor artistic mastery.
Center for Cultural Vibrancy is a different kind of organization.
We are shaped by lessons learned inside larger institutions, yet designed to move beyond their limitations. Our model is lean, responsive, and deeply relational, allowing us to say yes when opportunity appears, follow creative pathways wherever they lead, and act quickly in service of artists and communities.
