The ERA works hard to support fair and equal policies, actions, and initiatives that create a just and inclusive society.
theERA is an artist management and creative partnerships studio rooted in artist-led collaboration, placemaking, and community-rooted storytelling. We advocate for equity and sustainability in the arts by supporting artists with the tools, strategy, and relationships they need to thrive, not just participate. Our work bridges the gap between artists, institutions, organization, developers, and communities to ensure creativity is valued, protected, and meaningfully integrated into the spaces we inhabit.
We believe that fair contracts, authentic collaboration, and shared decision-making are vital to a more just and vibrant cultural landscape. Whether we're curating public art for a development project or guiding an artist through a brand partnership, we prioritize transparency, care, and long-term impact.
