ABOUT US:
The Artistocrats is an "entrepremunity©," a community of invited entrepreneurs and artists coming together under a structured creative framework to develop and provoke dialogue.

Spiritual Drive: 
A benefit to raise money for Joseph’s House, an AIDS hospice for formerly homeless persons, and the Cornerstone Community, providing caring opportunities for change to residents with a history of chronic substance abuse and disability. Each is a beneficiary of our support, volunteerism, and commitment, while they provide us with added purpose and guidance to extend our "entrepremunity."

Intellectual Drive: 
The invited artists and participants are known for creating paths where only notions existed previously. They navigate with their extraordinary talents despite some professional risk, and persevere.
