Our Mission Statement

ARTOCONECTO is a non-profit arts advocacy organization based in New York City, dedicated to creating and promoting unique artistic projects.

Artoconecto pioneered the concept of the pop-up gallery, creating enormous roving art ‘galleries’ in non-traditional venues in Washington D.C. and Miami. We strive to present the most dynamic artists we can find, and provide them the platform and the tools to both engage the public, and to take bold new risks.

We also believe that the arts should have a part in every child’s life, and KIDSART, which brings children into working artists’ studios, is our first program designed to introduce children to the rich cultural and artistic diversity of the community.

Our goal is to continue to expand the dialogue between the artist and the community, and to shine a bright light on creativity in the public realm.
