arte_FITS Foundation, is a non-profit organization, dedicated to promoting the visual arts and its benefits to humanity, qualified under section 501.(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
We are dedicated to fostering creativity skills and community engagement through innovative art and design. Our primary focus lies in curating and sponsoring ephemeral art installations in open spaces, thereby enhancing the visual and cultural landscape of our community. These installations, developed by both local and international artists, facilitate international exchanges and increase the exposure of our island. They not only beautify the environment but also inspire and provoke thought among residents and visitors alike.
Beyond our installations, our commitment to education runs deep. The arte_FITS Foundation champions art and design as crucial tools for learning and personal development. Our educational initiatives, such as our Mentoring Program, identify and nurture emerging talents, offering them the guidance and resources needed to thrive in the arts sector.
