Mission
Sugawater Collextive, Inc.® is a 501(c)(3) community and art-centric nonprofit activator and accelerator multidisciplinary art institute dedicated to advancing and empowering BIPOC from all facets of art-related career pathways by uprooting barriers to funding, professional development opportunities, networks, and resources through education and community.
Additionally, Sugawater Collextive is committed to forging symbolic and meaningful links amongst BIPOC-owned institutions, organizations, businesses, and educational institutions (HBCUs and TCUs) through partnerships, resources, and art-related programs. We believe that this connection between them by artistic reciprocity will innovate a new Art-age world.
