ONE OF ONE ARTS FOUNDATION 

New York, NY, United States

One of One Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Expanding access to creative opportunity




One of One Arts Foundation works across art, design, technology, and community development to create opportunities for artists and creative communities that have
 historically had limited access to resources, infrastructure, and global platforms.

Our work takes different forms—from exhibitions and cultural programming to technology tools, professional development, and partnerships with creative organizations around the world.

Rather than prescribing a single model, we work with artists, studios, and communities to understand what already exists and help build the infrastructure, resources, 
and connections that allow it to grow.

Contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Your IRS determination letter confirms your exemption and deductibility of contributions. 

WHAT WE DO



Creative Infrastructure


We develop tools and resources that make it easier for small creative organizations and businesses to operate, grow, and reach new audiences.

This can include technology, operational systems, digital tools, and shared resources designed around the realities of small organizations.

Exhibitions + Cultural Programming


We create opportunities for artists and makers to show their work through exhibitions, installations, events, and collaborations.

Our programming connects work made in different cultural and geographic contexts with new audiences while creating space for experimentation and exchange.

Global Creative Partnerships


We partner with independent studios, artists, craftspeople, and creative organizations around the world.

These partnerships can include collaborative projects, exhibitions, production support, professional development, fundraising, and opportunities to bring locally produced work to an 
international audience.


Education + Professional Development


We support the development of creative and practical skills through workshops, mentorship, knowledge sharing, and hands-on learning.

Our goal is not only to support the making of creative work, but to strengthen the knowledge and infrastructure that allow creative practices to become sustainable.

CURRENT PROJECTS
