ArtForum established a community advisory board as a fully transparent and essential resource to support the organization’s mission, strategy, and leadership. This board offers valuable expertise, guidance, strategic advice, and advocacy.

Comprising a diverse range of voices and perspectives—both artists and non-artists—its members serve as community ambassadors, actively promoting our nonprofit’s work. Additionally, they help identify funding opportunities, foster partnerships, and contribute to the organization’s ongoing growth and impact.
