About ART Ahead
We developed ART Ahead to provide resources and opportunities to emerging artists to further their creative careers. Our programs center on community-driven support that focuses on collaboration and personal growth.
For our past ART Ahead Accelerator, we worked with 6 creators in Austin for three months, offering professional development courses and culminating in an art exhibition.
Our current rendition of ART Ahead is a campaign with Coca-Cola to customize Nike Dunks embodying transformation–a key component of their “Move” limited edition flavor with Rosalía.
Selected artists receive:
- Two pairs of shoes to customize with a stipend
- Educational workshops to guide them through the process of client relations (i.e., drafting a proposal, contracts and deliverables).
- Educational guides & resources
- Professional photography of their work and themselves
- 1-on-1 assistance from the ART team
- Exhibition of their custom creations at an ART event
- Special-Edition Coca-Cola Move Gift Box
The deadline is Monday, April 3rd.
