Empowering communities
through art and education

We are building a future where anyone can use art to reimagine the world with joy, belonging, and shared humanity.

Can Art Change the World? Foundation -- is a non-profit created by French artist JR to empower communities through art, culture and education. It was founded in 2009 with the intent to bring continuity to his projects by creating autonomous spaces and programs where communities can create, connect, and learn together.
