ArtBridge
Cultivating Creativity and Connection Through the Art of Conversation
Our Core Mission: Why We Exist
At ArtBridge, we believe that the arts are an essential tool for human flourishing, not mere entertainment. Our mission is built on a simple, powerful idea: to bridge and nurture connections and cultivate profound human creativity through courageous conversation and transformative arts engagement.
We work to create spaces where art transforms life, not by observation, but by conscious participation.
The Power of Awe, Curiosity, and Creativity
Our initiatives center on harnessing the power of curiosity and our inherent creativity to inspire genuine connection. We bypass surface-level interaction by inviting the courage to engage together with vast, profound themes—such as remembrance and legacy, inspiration and the questions life’s challenges inspire. This environment of active and engaged presence is where new ideas are born and creative problem-solving thrives.
Our Catalysts for Connection
ArtBridge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established to build a wave of connection and creative purpose in communities across the country. Our mission is brought to life through our core initiatives, including the ArtStorming podcast, The Art of Conversation dinners, and our Substack series.
Our History of Creative Engagement
ArtBridge, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established by Lili Pierrepont to formalize a history of grassroots arts initiatives and expand their reach. Our current core programs directly build on this legacy of connection:
Santa Fe Arts Club (SFAC): Created in 2020 during the pandemic to keep the arts community connected, SFAC evolved into the founding concept for our current mission of fostering dialogue.
The ArtStorming Podcast: Expanded the mission globally by offering deep insights into the creative process, helping listeners tap into their innate ability to problem-solve and live life more fully.
The Art of Conversation Dinner Series and Substack: Our newest initiatives, which bring the spirit of our earlier work into tangible, community building and practical creative tools.
All of our programs support our single core mission: to bridge and nurture connections and cultivate profound human creativity through the art of conversation.
