Mission

New leadership in the Arts community is needed to strengthen and empower people of diverse backgrounds to pursue the power of creativity and its deep and historical connection to social awareness and change.

In the summer of 2003, an idea was born, developed and implemented. A collective of young people had the privilege of founding a successful Annual event called Hustlenomics that showcased their passion and appreciation for the Arts.

Hustlenomics Crew hosts annual events for various artists in the areas of photography, visual art, design, print media, music, and fashion. The crew is a collective of talented up and coming artists that reside from California and New York City. Each year the crew puts together an art exhibition and music event for the artists involved to showcase their work in an environment that honors honestly, diversity, individualism, culture, and struggle. The Hustlenomics event annually pulls a crowd of 500-600 spectators and has been successful in providing artists who normally don't have an outlet, a space to shine and feel empowered.
