Bend the status quo of corporate art.
Empower raw ideas of a rising youth generation.
We look to create a youthful influence through unseen product. Each authentic piece will open the eyes of customers, employees, and the global community. Through pure originality and branding, we aim to rejuvenate corporate culture by creating retention and attracting constant dialogue.
The art entities endorsed by companies do not inspire relatability and emotional attachment, many created merely for aesthetic and storage. However, we aim to create deeper substance, a breath of fresh air on what the people want to see.
Our projects will not only be professional, but we aim to provide large companies art carved from a rising generation. The interplay of love and raw expression from the young ideation is what will make our art soulful, viral, and influential.
A company of strong and humble precedents.
OUR STARTING ROOTS
Established Sept. 2020.
The organization that started it all. Originated Artellect Co.’s goals and ideals.
-
We, as representatives of the Cultural Crafts Club, devote ourselves to greater artistic inclusion, a strong bridge of understanding across various cultural arts, and strengthened community bonds. We seek to encourage individuals to creatively make beautiful renditions of cultural art forms and immerse themselves in learning about the history and influences of these crafts.
-
Bellevue council members allowed us to host our own exhibition inside the City Hall. This was a huge turning point as it gave our club members a public light to display their craftsmanship and spirit from our school to the entire city. With hundreds flooding in to watch and artist interviews and other event footage being filmed on local TV, our positive impressions encouraged us to take an even bigger step toward our city’s future.
-
The vibrancy of student crafts touched the hearts of many elementary communities. Connecting with teachers from elementary schools across the state, we were able to collaborate with the national enrichment “Right At School” program. In it, we conducted interactive workshops with elementary students across our school district, introducing a rising generation on how to make crafts whilst covering the cultural significance and its importance to DEI values.
Established May 2022.
A culture hub focusing on artistic inclusion on city infrastructure.
-
We transitioned from a school club to a locally-based culture hub “Cultural Crafts Association”, focusing on artistic inclusion on city infrastructure. We have allowed youth residents across WA to learn about the history and influences of traditional crafts and publicly express themselves to city council, global museums, and the urban public.
-
Street art was one communal approach we took on, but we look to expand our visions for the entire world to now see. We hosted, curated, and facilitated a 128-sq. feet mural at the Yuan Ru Art Center on Bel-Red, a Taiwanese-based gallery. Curating a total of 16 designs from young artists across our school district, we attracted hundreds of city residents to come and support what the youth made.
-
This project opened our eyes to the value of art to our community, both to students and general residents. Through effective curations and diverse, high-quality designs, we learned to appeal to a wider audience and retain a motivated pool of artists. With this as our precedent, we look to emulate orchestrated curations nationally and internationally, building brand recognition through our unique lines crafted with generational passion.
Meet the Team
As a dynamic trio who originally founded the Cultural Crafts Club and Association in their school district, we have stuck together for years, learning what to improve on and possessing strengths crucial to making our projects executed optimally.
