• Over the last five years, a media coverage shortage has swept across America, driven largely by the closure of local news outlets and the consolidation of media ownership.

​

• This shrinking media landscape has disproportionately impacted the arts and cultural scene, stifling the visibility of local cultural events, emerging artists, and diverse voices.

​

• Without adequate coverage, these stories struggle to reach the broader public, leading to reduced engagement with the arts and diminished support for cultural initiatives.

​

• The lack of representation threatens the vibrancy of the arts community, particularly for underrepresented groups who rely on media platforms to amplify their work and cultural contributions.

​

• The Explore Art Project has made a profound impact by stepping into the media void left by shrinking news outlets, offering free and accessible digital media coverage that celebrates the diversity of global artistic expression.

​

• Through its digital magazines and immersive cultural events, the project amplifies underrepresented voices and showcases a rich tapestry of art and culture that might otherwise go unnoticed.

​

• By prioritizing inclusivity and cultural equity, Explore Art has created a vital platform for artists, particularly from marginalized communities, to connect with wider audiences, fostering a renewed appreciation for the arts and revitalizing cultural engagement, especially among younger generations.
