2026 Transparency & Initiatives Report
Colors of Cambodia
Colors of Cambodia is a free arts school in Siem Reap, Cambodia we officially started in 2003. The school provides free workshops, instruction, and daily access to art making, community and mentorship for any child who wants to learn in Cambodia. We also host daily workshops in public schools. The program serves over 1000 kids each month, and has seen hundreds of young people develop into professional working artists.
Partnership with the Jonathan Foundation in rural Rwanda
The Jonathan Foundation currently serves over 2500 children each month by providing vital community services, education, medical attention, clean water, electricity, and internet to children in rural Rwanda.
The River Gallery
We started The River Gallery in 2023 to bring both an international exchange and celebration of the incredible work of Cambodian artists. The gallery currently hosts bi-monthly exhibitions, hosts community-driven events, and partners with local arts institutions.
Partnership with the Angkor Museum
We partnered with the Angkor National Museum to offer a curated selection of contemporary art prints, created by five of our incredibly talented Colors of Cambodia alumni.
These limited-edition, gallery-quality prints are available exclusively at the museum’s gift shop, offering visitors a unique opportunity to take home a piece of Cambodia’s vibrant creative spirit, while directly supporting local artists and our ongoing nonprofit mission.

Instructional Video Initiative
We are creating a series of instructional videos we can share with organizations around the world. Over the years, we’ve provided thousands of children and teens with free, hands-on art education at the Colors of Cambodia Art School and Gallery. Over time, one question kept resurfacing: How can we expand access to creative learning beyond our walls and across borders?
So, our incredible Colors of Cambodia school manager and teacher, Sophany Sor, began tackling that very challenge. She began creating a series of simple, accessible art instruction videos that cover the basics of form, shadow, shape, and line, designed to transcend language and cultural barriers.

Partnership with Fundarcult and Casa de los Sueño in El Salvador
We provided art materials and instruction from 2018-2020 via the good work of organizations Fundarcult and Casa de los Sueño in San Vincente, El Salvador.

Zuni Pueblo, Navajo Nation x AWSTW
Founder Bill Gentry began outreach for Art Will Save The World, building connections with philanthropic foundations and education leaders to bring art programs to children in Native American Pueblos and Reservations in New Mexico. Despite COVID-19 challenges, meaningful progress was made, especially with the Zuni Pueblo and the Navajo Nation. Multiple visits and tribal council meetings helped lay the groundwork for future art classes planned for 2022.
