Let’s face it. The pandemic shined a light on the inequality that exists within the arts and culture sectors, not to mention the challenges that creatives of color are up against. Enter GANGGANG, a cultural startup focused on putting the institutional power of the creative economy back into the hands of the ones who created it. We do this by positioning artists and culturalists to better contribute and benefit from the creative economy, making our cities more beautiful, equitable, and vibrant along the way.
Culture Equity Beauty
GANGGANG activates the creative economy to center beauty, equity and culture in cities. We believe that culture brings humanity together and that art challenges mindsets. It is our vision to build new ecosystems that center the care and economic viability of creatives. We do that via programming, advocacy and production. Thank you for considering a collaboration with GANGGANG to make all spaces more vibrant and equitable by way of the creative economy.
Investing in the creative economy
Featured Projects
Much of our work happens within the context of individual, widely varying projects. From massive urban murals to creative consulting for national brands, each new opportunity, internally sparked or via external collaboration, works to provide sustainable equity in the creative economy. We’re always open to collaboration.
If the culture that has shaped America can be acknowledged and funded for their contribution, we’ll see a more vibrant and equitable America.
