EMPOWER.
EDUCATE.
CREATE.
illuseum.org is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2024 and is based in Berlin.
Our approach is simple: We believe in the power of art, education, and activism to drive meaningful change.
Focusing on our three core topics, we want to inspire people to play an active role in protecting our planet:
#1 ARTIVISM
We value art as a powerful tool for activism due to its ability to highlight issues, inspire solutions, and drive action.
#2 ACTIVIST SUPPORT
We support individuals and organisations with projects in environmental protection and nature conservation.
#3 EDUCATION
We organise exhibitions, workshops, and events to educate and encourage for a more environmentally conscious society.
OUR PROJECTS
We love art. We love Mother Nature. And we love to take action.
From supporting artists to protecting endangered species, our initiatives are designed to make a difference.
TIME TO SHINE
ARTIST PATRON PROJECT
Art can heal wounds. Art can help us grow, understand and inspire others.
But very often artists need a helping hand. This is the moment when we come into play.
We want to empower and to give artists the space and the means to fully develop their creative visions and make them shine and rise. By accompanying them on their journey.
