Who we are

Art in a Box partners with communities around the world that are in need, disadvantaged by poverty, or that are facing crisis situations due to war, public health emergencies or natural disasters, and assists in recovery and empowerment through art. We respect the depth and diversity of people who are often viewed as representatives of their circumstances rather than as unique individuals.

Art in a Box promotes international understanding across geographic, artistic and cultural borders through art and education. Our programs include Art Programs for Children at Risk, Teacher Training Programs to build the capacity of local teachers to offer ongoing art programs, children’s art exhibitions and community publication projects.

Art in a Box is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization. Art in a Box is inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, Maha Ghosananda and by the artwork of artists from all cultures.
