Founders’ Circle
A new model for sustaining cultural leadership—with hospitality as its engine
Artencia is not simply a destination—it’s a cultural institution, structured for impact and built to endure. At its heart is a nonprofit mission: to nurture interdisciplinary thought, artistic innovation, and public engagement in a time when they are needed most.
To sustain that mission, we’ve built a self-supporting model where hospitality serves as the revenue engine—allowing cultural programming, residencies, and public benefit to thrive without dependency on fundraising alone.
We’re inviting a small group of Founders to help launch this model—visionaries who understand that real change is made not just through ideas, but through the infrastructure that supports them.
