In honor of #InternationalArtistDay, we’re proud to showcase the “Mural of Welcome” in West Seattle—a collaborative work that celebrates unity, resilience, and community. Created alongside USA for UNHCR, Urban ArtWorks , the City of Seattle, and a team of talented young artists, this mural tells stories of families, connection, and shared humanity. With scenes of parents embracing their children and a warm home welcoming newcomers, the mural reflects universal themes of love and belonging while honoring the diverse stories of those who now call Seattle home. A special thanks to all our partners who made this impactful project possible. Together, we’re using art to build connections and inspire empathy. #Artolution #CommunityArt #SeattleArt #RefugeeWelcome #ArtForChange #GlobalCommunity

We’re live at the Augmented World Expo (AWE) in Vienna, showcasing our Virtual Bridges program, proudly supported by UNHCR! From its beginnings as a pilot, Virtual Bridges has grown into a global initiative, bringing the transformative impact of virtual reality art to refugee youth across multiple countries. Through immersive art-making, this program empowers young people to connect, create, and share their stories—bridging cultures and building resilience. This is a new chapter of creativity and connection for youth worldwide. Follow along as we explore how VR and art can create lasting change! #VirtualBridges #AugmentedWorldExpo #UNHCR #Artolution #VRForGood #ArtAndTechnology #YouthEmpowerment #GlobalInitiative #RefugeeSupport #CreativeConnection #ResilienceThroughArt #Vienna #InnovationInVR #EmpoweringYouth #GlobalImpact #ArtAsHealing

At Artolution, we witness the transformative power of art to foster mental well-being, especially for communities affected by conflict and displacement. On this World Mental Health Day, we reflect on how collaborative art-making creates spaces for self-expression, connection, and healing. Through murals, performances, and creative workshops, participants rebuild hope, strengthen resilience, and find a sense of belonging. Art is more than a tool—it’s a pathway to healing and mental health support where it’s often needed most. Together, we can continue to use creativity to change lives. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #HealingThroughArt #ArtForChange #Artolution

We are thrilled to announce the completion of our collaborative mural with NASA in Washington, DC! This vibrant artwork by Artolution co-founder Joel Bergner highlights the immense potential of satellite technology to support and transform communities globally—from integrating green spaces into urban landscapes to ensuring refugees reach safety and expanding educational opportunities for youth.   One powerful section of the mural captures the journey of a young woman fleeing instability—a narrative shared by millions around the world. This artwork emphasizes the critical role that technology and humanitarian efforts play in supporting displaced communities and fostering resilience.   A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners NASA Lifelines and MetroForward for making this vision a reality and helping us create lasting change through the power of art.   #ArtForChange #NASA #SatelliteTechnology #RefugeeSupport #Sustainability #Education #CommunityBuilding #Artolution #WashingtonDC

We’re proud to collaborate with Medair to bring art therapy into the heart of humanitarian efforts. By using creative expression, we’re helping individuals, especially children, overcome psychosocial barriers and build confidence in safe, supportive spaces. Together, we’re fostering resilience and creating lasting impact through Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) programs that empower communities to heal, express, and connect. #Artolution #Medair #ArtForHealing #MHPSS #ResilienceBuilding #ArtTherapy #CommunitySupport

In collaboration with MIEF Japan, Artolution artists in Kampala, Uganda, undertook an exciting pilot project that included a mural painting and a collaborative song performance with a Japanese team. Children aged 10-15 engaged in exploring a shared theme and topic, brainstorming ideas for sketches and translating those concepts into a cohesive mural. Their sketches and creative ideas were sent from Uganda to Japan, where they were brought to life on canvas. #Artolution #Kampala #Uganda #CommunityArt #CollaborativeArt #CulturalExchange #YouthEmpowerment #GlobalCreativity #ArtForChange #ArtEducation #MuralArt #ArtisticCollaboration #CrossCulturalArt #CreativeLearning

Bringing Hope to Kibera! We're excited to announce our latest initiative in the Kibera community in Nairobi, Kenya!

With the participation of around 30 individuals of all ages, genders, and abilities, this project truly highlights the healing power of art. Stay tuned as we continue this transformative mission in Mathare and Maai Mahiu! #Artolution #Medair #Kibera #CommunityArt #HealingThroughArt #Resilience #Hope

During our recent project in Red Hook, Brooklyn, our incredible teens came together to transform a massive blank wall into a vibrant masterpiece. Through the daily ritual of painting, they found joy, laughter, and connection, sharing stories and building friendships. The resulting mural is a beautiful story that emerged from their collaboration—a colorful reflection of the community they cherish. This artwork stands as a testament to the power of hard work and teamwork, showing that together, we can create a whole new world. 🎨❤️
