Virtuarte, Washington, DC
The Mission of VirtuArte is to create an awareness of art, folk art, and "fine" crafts from the developing world and sell these pieces to an international clientele. We help artisans from these countries to generate a sustainable income that will support their families, improve the quality of their lives, continue their traditional craftsmanship and pass their skills on to the next generation.
It is our belief that through the increased awareness of their art and the ability to generate an income, artisans will be encouraged and have the incentive to preserve their traditional weaving, carving, sculpting and painting and share their skills with the next generation.
