Artists Designing Evolution (adé PROJECT) has a five point theory of change – creative facilitation, entrepreneurship, service, training + education and storytelling. The mission in action takes the form of creative placemaking projects, international cultural immersion trips, youth leadership programs, community events, public art, eco-cultural design and more, depending on the needs of the community being served.

Art is our RESPONSE.
Using a strengths-based approach, we can use data to identify patterns of success, areas of opportunity and how to design community-driven solutions to address needs. Underscoring groundbreaking data around the impact of the arts in social-emotional intelligence as well as healthy development as an adult, adé PROJECT curates inter-generational spaces where we can learn and skill up through play, joy, celebration, commemoration, beauty and peace. This multi-disciplinary arts project is designed to dance at the intersection of creative placekeeping, public art, arts in education, creative entrepreneurship and ecology because I believe art is an action verb that creates meaning. This living archive has been cooperatively formed in order to stay responsive to the community and the needs of the times.
