Organization Info
Induz is a non-profit organization driven by Silicon Valley professionals with a passion to promote art and culture across the globe.
Founded in 2004, Induz started off as a dedicated non-profit organization raising awareness and funds for charities. It has since its inception morphed into a much bigger initiative to raise money at hugely popular events in the bay area promoting art and culture, for its own artistic endeavors globally.
Induz 2008 Brochure (PDF ~553KB)The Challenge
Art programs across the nation have steadily decreased in the last 30 years and there is even less support for the arts in developing countries.
Why?
Students who received art education scholasticaly outperform students that don't. Art improves a child's early cognitive development, raises self-esteem, and promotes self expression.
Induz Background and Purpose
Art's association with luxury and recreation has pushed it out of schools and out of the lives of many potential and aspiring artists. We are pushing back! Our goal is to bring art to areas that don't have it and to help individuals who share the same passion for art as we do. In 2004 a small group of Silicon Valley professionals launched Induz with the idea of helping other charities, but both our family and goals have grown since then. We are pleased to have students, professionals, members of the community, artists, and just regular people working as a part of our team.
Vision
Creating better global communities by fostering art and culture for wholesome growth.
