About Art2Action

An artist-led nonprofit turning creative vision into collective action.

About Us:

Since 2010, Art2Action has been creating, developing, producing, and presenting original work that goes beyond the stage. We are dedicated to supporting artists who challenge dominant narratives and create transformative, community-driven work. We strive to create performances that do something in the world, that perform an action beyond the art itself. We inspire the movement of ideas, and people, from art to action.

Whether developing new work, collaborating with community partners, touring, or acting as a presenter, community-based process and meaningful engagement is central to all of our residencies, productions and creative projects. As a mission-driven, artist-led organization, we are intentionally designed to increase capacity, extend reach and increase our impact through multi-year partnerships with artists, partners, and networks.

History & Background:

First envisioned by Andrea Assaf in 2001 when she began creating original works under the same name, Art2Action, Inc. was formally incorporated in July 2010 with Founding Board & A2A Collective members: Dora Arreola, Andrea Assaf, Krystal Banzon, Meena Natarajan, and Jo Novelli. Art2Action attained 501(c)3 not-for-profit status in 2011, retroactive to the date of incorporation. Originally incorporated in the state of New York, Art2Action’s main office, operations and programs are currently located in Tampa, FL.

As the founding Artistic and Executive Director of Art2Action Inc., Andrea has been instrumental in shaping the organization’s creative vision and expanding its impact. Bringing over two decades of experience as a writer, performer, director, and cultural organizer, Andrea’s work spans both community-based theater and international platforms. In addition to her leadership at Art2Action, Andrea is considered a thought-leader in the national arts field, impacting the development of several national networks and programs.
