Our Roadmap to Social Impact

From Art to Tangible Change

We transform creativity into measurable outcomes that empower migrants, strengthen communities, and build long-term resilience.

Our Theory of Change turns inputs—artists, partners, learning—into clear milestones and auditable results.

Assumptions & Risks Building for
Real-World Success

Assumption

  • Migrant guides attend paid trainings and scheduled workshops.

  • Host cities and venues confirm permits and civic partners.

  • Venues provide insurance and professional security as needed.

  • Our digital platform drives sign-ups, resources, and program visibility.

  • IRIS-aligned indicators are collected consistently across sites.

  • Partners share anonymized data needed for outcome tracking.

Risk
  • Partner capacity: pair each city with experienced NGOs and trained migrant facilitators.

  • Booking/permits delays: maintain a rolling calendar and backup venues.

  • Low attendance: localize outreach with schools, community hubs, and bilingual media.

  • Data quality gaps: standardized forms + staff training; periodic audit of samples.

  • Tech downtime: cloud hosting with versioned backups and support SLAs.

  • Safety concerns: site risk reviews, security briefings, and clear incident protocols.

Every Theory of Change relies on certain conditions.
Here are the critical assumptions that guide our work—and the proactive steps we take to reduce potential risks.

Our Stakeholder Ecosystem

Our Stakeholder Ecosystem brings together the people and organizations that make impact possible—city governments, funders, NGOs, museums, schools, artists, migrant guides, and audiences.

Each plays a critical role in turning our Theory of Change into measurable outcomes across inclusion, trust, and resilience. By co-producing programs and sharing data responsibly, we align resources where communities need them most.

Social Inclusion

Our art programs hire refugee creators and amplify their voices in public discourse—reducing barriers to social participation and opportunity in the U.S.
