Art and Culture are the fundamental building blocks of human civilization. Principles and values, ethics and morality, the exchange of ideas and the resolution of conflicting perspectives are the fruit of creativity and critical thinking. They are the indispensable components of democracy and global citizenship. Muse Art Foundation makes it its mission to support those who speak the universal language of art and culture, to connect them with the largest worldwide audience possible, to foster sustainable artistic careers and to contribute in building a community without borders based on authenticity, diversity and inclusion.
Muse Art Foundation, Inc. is a cultural 501 (c)3 non-profit organization based in Boston. Its foundational ethos grew out of the Covid pandemic, when for the first time in history the performing arts were abruptly silenced worldwide. MUSE has been created to provide an innovative global framework to support particularly talented artists in music, dance and opera via Muse Art Foundation bases in the United States, South Africa, India and Europe.
MUSE is a springboard for creative artists who do not yet have the resources or necessary network to have their talent and work seen and heard. We seek out exceptional projects and artists whose voices risk being silenced without the additional support we provide.
Muse Art Foundation represents an innovative framework for cultural philanthropy that not only seeks out exceptional artists offering original contributions to international cultural evolution, but also provides artists with a supportive environment in which to freely develop their means of expression and creativity. In addition to financial support, the foundation, critically, will also provide artists with a network of key professional contacts: specialists in their particular artistic medium, who will accompany them and mentor their innovative ideas to develop accessible platforms on which to reach larger and broader audiences.
Depending on the geographical origin of each candidate, Muse Art Foundation will also try to help the selected talent to develop its profile and visibility in its country of origin and thus become a source of artistic inspiration for other individuals and generations to come.
Muse Art Foundation’s mission is to support and accompany innovative artists who are professionally committed to their work and to assist them in realizing their full artistic potential through direct funding of $50,000 and a five-year international career development program in the following areas of the performing arts: classical and contemporary music, dance and opera.
Choreographers
Composers
Conductors
Dance Groups
Dancers
Musicians
Singers
Stage Directors
Through its philanthropic mission, Muse Art Foundation fills a gap in the field of support for the performing arts worldwide and breaks new ground by creating the triad: Artist – Foundation – Artistic Partner. The foundation wishes to broaden the perception of the individual disciplines and strives to make an impact off the beaten path by encouraging supported artists to deepen their sphere of influence in their country of origin, thus becoming a source of artistic inspiration – both for contemporaries and future generations. We believe in diversity and connectivity between continents with a strong ecological consciousness.
