Baldocchi Projects & Collaborations
Serving Communities One Project at a Time
It has been proven that communities benefit from direct engagement with art. Baldocchi Projects investigates artists who consistently contribute to the health of their communities through their art practice.
Once identified, Baldocchi projects invites and provides funding to the artists to collaborate with organizations that deeply value community. Projects include art exhibitions, salons, community art making, mural creation, performances, residencies, concerts, picnics, art commissions.
Baldocchi Projects has a dedicated mission to working with artistic communities—providing whatever support is needed in order to unlock, expand or amplify creative potential. We advocate for them so they have the ability to make their dreams a reality.
