Fall Fundraiser

There are so many exciting things happening here at Inverted Arts as young people around the world use their creativity to transform their communities! In addition to our ongoing work in Minneapolis, Pasadena and Liberia, our partnerships in Kenya are blooming! This growth in Kenya includes:

  • Ten Art Camps serving over one thousand students with five partner organizations in 2025
  • Nine new scholarships awarded for the 2025-26 school year
  • Two new business partnerships awarded to recent graduates – Lloyd Ombisa – Good Stuff Pastries, and Stephanie Dindi – Dalawa Decos 
  • A new part-time Kenya Director position for Seth Luchemos, who begins his new role January 1st 2026!

Creative seeds are planted during Art Camps, the seeds grow and mature through scholarships, they become fruit-bearing trees through business partnerships, and now we’re honored to have a new Director to help care for this beautiful garden! Watch the video below to hear Seth talk about his new role with Inverted Arts!
