OUR BELIEF:
AS WE ACTIVATE NEW MODELS OF CROSS-CULTURAL ARTISTIC PARTICIPATION, WE SPAWN UNEXPECTED OUTCOMES FOR ENGAGEMENT AND ENRICHMENT. OUR PURPOSE:
TO PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM FOR CREATIVE EXPERIMENTATION AND EXPLORATION, SET WITHIN A GLOBAL CONTEXT, THAT THRIVES OUTSIDE CONVENTIONAL CULTURAL STRUCTURES. THE INSIGHT THAT GUIDES US: THE FREEDOM TO CREATE. WHEN ARTISTS AND CURATORS DEPART FROM THE INFLUENCE OF TRADITIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND COMMERCE, THEY ENJOY A PRECIOUS FREEDOM TO BREAK OUT AND BREAK THROUGH TO RICH AND RESONANT NEW IDEAS AND MODES OF EXPRESSION. BY FOSTERING NEW FORMS OF COLLABORATION, WE ENCOURAGE BOTH ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES TO STRETCH AND TO TAKE RISKS. THE PIVOT POINT: DEPARTING FROM…AIMING FOR…
THE IMPACT OF THE WORK OF DEPART FOUNDATION CAN BEST BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE CHARTING OF NEW ARTISTIC DESTINATIONS WITH EVERY PROJECT AND PROGRAM WE UNDERTAKE.

We had a great time at our pop-up shop at the Malibu Village.
In 18 months, we have shown the work over 100 artists
from across the globe, and we gave many local artists their first solo institutional show.
We presented talks, screening and we spawn unexpected outcomes for engagement and enrichment with the local community.
We thank the artists, curators, the other institutions we collaborated with and the whole Malibu community.
Depart will continue thecharting of new artistic destinations with every project and
program we undertake. Stay tuned for what’s coming next!
