Donor Prospecting & Research Volunteer (LiberArte)

LiberArte

We nurture artists co-creating joyful and abundant futures in harmony with each other and Mother Earth.

LiberArte addresses the profound challenge of disconnection. When we perceive ourselves as separate from others, we breed issues like racism, homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, and even environmental degradation. Our mistreatment of the Earth arises from this disconnection too— this idea that we are separate from nature instead of part of nature ourselves. LiberArte facilitates a reconnection through the transformative power of the arts—to ourselves, each other, and the Earth—fostering unity and healing divisions to cultivate a more harmonious, equitable, and sustainable world.
