When people engage in creative collaboration, making collective decisions and working together to create something larger than life, a magical transformation occurs. This process opens eyes, changes minds, and has the power to create lasting change. We believe art and creativity hold profound power to unite people and foster peace. We envision a future where collaborative art-making is widely embraced as a tool to bridge divides and rekindle our shared humanity.

At the United Painting Foundation, we unite individuals through large-scale public art projects. Our approach emphasizes the creative process to build connections, understanding, and inclusivity. We create collaborative projects that foster collective efforts and a sense of community.
