Hello!

I’m Sydney, a Filipino curator and arts advocate based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Working in the arts, I’ve consistently seen how funding structures leave many artists, curators, and educators without the support they need.

In response, I founded Artist Resistance Through Solidarity—a self-funded, donation-based initiative grounded in mutual aid and cultural organizing, created to support artists outside institutional frameworks. The foundation was created to address these inequities directly by providing resources, building networks, and supporting independent creative work outside traditional institutions.
