Founded in 2021, AAWKI was created to bring together a community of creators who find joy in freedom of expression; through art! We acknowledge the complexities of starving artists who continue to produce but are not receiving the admiration or appreciation they deserve. AAWKI is dedicated to expanding the reach of art beyond traditional boundaries. We create meaningful opportunities for both local and international artists to showcase their work—not only on the canvas to be framed and hung on a wall, but also in the spaces and objects that shape our daily lives. 

We have collaborated with artists to transform their original artwork into unique expressions found in fashion, home décor, and everyday design. By bridging the worlds of fine art and functional creativity, we celebrate artistic diversity while making art accessible, wearable, and livable.

At AAWKI, we believe that art belongs everywhere—and that every surface holds the potential to tell a story.
