About Us

POW! – It’s the impact that art has on a person. A punch in the face.

WOW! – It’s reaction that art has on a viewer. A sense of awe and wonderment.

Together they form POW WOW, which is a Native American term that describes a gathering that celebrates culture, music and art.

Now imagine for a moment a contemporary form of the gathering which brings internationally and locally renowned artists to one place. A place that will allow them to do what they do best: be creative. We give them the tools, the space and the freedom to create. We make that process open to the public, allowing them full engagement and interaction between the artists and their audience. They witness the creativity in its entirety and become an essential part of the artists’ process. It’s about the breaking down of those closed doors and making art accessible. Now take a step further and imagine transforming a whole neighborhood with art within a week. Seeing creativity happen all around you from beginning to end and bringing people together through the act of putting paint on surface.

A POW! WOW!
