Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As 2025 comes to a close, we are grateful for the partners, educators, agencies, and people who made this a year of public engagement at scale—one in which creativity served as a powerful tool across educational, scientific, and public spaces.

Throughout the year, the Foundation supported 40+ public programs, lectures, workshops, and performances, working with 30+ partner institutions across government, schools, universities, museums, and civic organizations. These engagements reached audiences from K–12 students to professional and executive leaders, from Canada to Chile. Along the way, the Foundation helped unveil more than a dozen of Cortada’s environmental public art projects across eleven different cities, while educational initiatives and convenings advanced conversations around climate adaptation, ocean justice, truth, and the role of art in social change.

At the heart of this work is a simple premise: when communities can see shared risk and shared responsibility, they are better equipped to imagine and build shared solutions.

Here are some of the projects and partnerships that shaped our year:
