Arete Living Arts Foundation is a small nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, New York, operating within the performing arts space. It develops art works across multiple media with the aim of conveying positive social messages and pursuing innovative or original forms and visions. The foundation emphasizes art as a means of personal, political, or spiritual awakening and as a vehicle for personal transformation and social change. In addition to creation, the organization provides training, career guidance, and work experience to economically disadvantaged emerging artists, supporting their development in line with its goals. It also seeks to broaden access to the arts for communities that lack exposure to non-corporate media outlets and progressive ideas, with a focus on rural areas and small towns. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, it frames art as education, evolution, and a platform for expressing the concerns of everyday people beyond the mainstream corporate media landscape.
