Become a part of our Arts Community
Arts Humanitas nurtures a supportive arts community and provides critical recognition for international impact artists. Any amount makes a big difference.
We thoughtfully curate art salons, immersive en plein airs and cultural biennials with artist awards, insightful talks, and publications through which we actively provide recognition for dedicated San Francisco artists, connect engaged art professionals; and inspire wider audiences to invite rich cultural experiences into their lives.
Arts Humanitas is a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening our connection to humanity and nature through art immersion, dialogue, and direct experience.
Our flagship project, the Art, Nature, Ecology SAN FRANCISCO BIENNALE, is dedicated to building a forum and digital platform that integrates art, nature experiences & interdisciplinary, ecological dialogue to explore climate values.
OUR GOALS
To build a global community dedicated to purpose in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming due to climate disasters. Together, we open up to seek alignment between our humanity and actions, creating a more balanced co-existence with nature.
To develop and maintain a highly visible online platform that serves as the reference point for contemporary artists, climate speakers, experts, scientists, and philosophers.
Both art and climate solutions are fueled by creativity. The Biennale will stand as both a celebration and a call for reflection: a space where creativity serves as a bridge among values, culture, and ecology, and where art can remind us of our shared responsibility to the Earth and all its inhabitants. As a full patron—and donor-supported nonprofit, your generosity empowers us to continue this vital work. Together, we can keep these experiences accessible and foster deeper connections with art, nature, and humanity.
