Go Cultura Foundation
Our brief History
Achieving big changes in short time
Go Cultura Foundation was established on August 28, 2017 with the goal of promoting and preserving the cultural heritage of Aruba. Since its inception, the foundation has been dedicated to creating opportunities for people to experience and participate in the cultural activities that define their community. To achieve this goal, the foundation has produced a variety of events and initiatives designed to raise funds and support its mission. These have included concerts, documentaries, biographies, workshops, and talk shows, among others. One of the foundation’s latest endeavors is the development of Aruba’s Cultural and Creative Industries.
With this project, the foundation aims to create a platform for artists, creators, and cultural enthusiasts to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work to a wider audience. The foundation is in the process of mapping the cultural and creative industries on the island, with the mapping starting in March 2023. Through its dedication and tireless efforts, the Go Cultura Foundation has become a driving force in the cultural and creative life of Aruba. It continues to work towards its goal of fostering the growth and development of the island’s cultural and creative scene, and invites all those who are passionate about the arts to join them in their mission.
