Our Mission
Ateh Kuya Creatives is a Filipinx creative collective rooted in Northern Virginia, dedicated to amplifying the voices and talents of Filipino artists, creatives, and small businesses throughout the DMV area.
Our mission is to unite Filipino creatives across disciplines and foster a thriving, supportive community that celebrates our shared heritage and diverse artistry. We aim to serve as a resource hub for aspiring Filipino artists, offering mentorship, networking opportunities, and connections for trade work and collaboration.
By providing free or low-cost workshops and events, we make creative tools and education more accessible to our community.
Additionally, we are passionate about enriching the next generation through the teaching and celebration of Filipino history, culture, and the arts. Through visibility, collaboration, and cultural pride, we seek to build a vibrant and resilient creative ecosystem that uplifts the broader Filipino community.
