Our mission is the empowerment results from our creative services and programs, intertwined with a community foundation and visionary goals.
We are a grassroots nonprofit officially for 5 years, however we have been running our program for 11 years. Our needs are to raise money so that we can continue to provide creative inspiring services to our community, visual art scholarships to High School Students, promote local artist to live their dream, administer city-wide cultural arts events and create the WX Mural Museum in Downtown Sacramento, CA.
Founders of ARTners Nonprofit are identified as People of Color (POC), Mexican-American or Chicano. Both founders have military fathers that honorably served our country. Their father’s belief and passed along trust in the system has instilled an equity foundation in theory. In practice the outcomes of integrity actions have not always been a blessed storytelling result. Those experiences in entrepreneurship and government employment have also assisted the understanding. The ARTners policies are growth ongoing. We engage with business Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessability (DEIA) educational classes, studying the demographics and the needs of the community, attend informational forums, webinars, classes and create as much access for artists as we are able to manage.
