Creating change through the power of art

Be a Catalyst by giving today

Our mission.

The Urevbu Foundation creates the potential for global change and healing through the arts by catalyzing artists to harness their creative gifts and talents to tackle issues they are passionate about. By nurturing ideas that translate the artist’s core beliefs into impactful art, we foster collaboration and mutual understanding among artists and their communities, thereby releasing the inherent power of art to transcend political divides and effect meaningful change.

Call to action.

The Urevbu Foundation stands ready to help create a more hopeful and connected world bound together by inspiring stories that remind us of our common humanity. This vision of a world where art brings us together will be possible when we, as a community, come together to make it happen. We are seeking partners who will work with us as we bring this vision in the world. We encourage you to volunteer time or expertise, participate in our many programs, or provide critical funding that will positively impact communities in Memphis and across the globe.
