Why We Art?
Vivia Barron - Founder, Artist, Architect of We Art St. Pete
"I built We Art to make visible what the art world too often overlooks.
As a working, BIPOC artist myself, I’ve walked every step of this path—quietly building proof, not promises.
Now, I support other artists in doing the same.
When the door opens, it’s not by luck. It’s by design."
Proof. Not Promises.
-
From unknown to nationally televised — in under 6 months.
-
From local shows to multiple exhibitions, commissions, and a solo.
-
From isolation to investor-backed projects and full-time art careers.
This is the path. If you’re ready.
