New Arts

ONA, meaning "art" or "way" in Yoruba, is committed to forging paths for artistic expression that place material culture as a vital way of understanding the world. We unite the public in dialogue with creatives, curators, and scholars to activate our mission through exhibitions, residencies, and educational programming. Grounded in the belief that humanity’s shared histories and migrations connect us all, ONA carves out a new way forward, fostering creative growth and critical reflection on what it means to be human.
