Casa AmaCord is a curatorial initiative championing an eclectic roster of contemporary Latin American emerging and mid-career artists and designers.
Through institutional projects and curated exhibitions that merge fine and decorative arts, Casa AmaCord intends to add new voices to the art canon.
Art has the profound ability to change our social consciousness and inspire real change. However, preserving the past, educating the present, and shaping the future come at an obvious cost. We believe that the privileged experience of art should not come at the expense of the environment.
Our modus operandi is designed to reduce and offset our carbon footprint as well as support climate-focused initiatives while our programming involves an effort to embed environmental subjects and methods throughout. We view, foster, and talk about art in ways that effect change and complement the work of education and science to protect the world art inhabits.
