The Artist Collective of Tomorrow

 Bringing the Possibility of Art & Music to the Central Florida Community

Our Mission

We bring together communities through innovative arts collaborations

that defy the boundaries between genre, culture, and people



Core Values

Collaboration
No man is an island; We believe that the start of any successful artistic experience begins with engaging with others to create something greater than the sum of its parts
Innovation
We explore new possibilities in art, and seek to uncover unique approaches to address current issues in our ever-diversifying society
Accessibility
We invite members of the community to participate in projects that current educational models overlook
Empathy
We facilitate global relationships through the arts and music, to help gain a better understanding of each other and create a tightly knit family

History

In 2019, the nonprofit Mudita was established in Japan to share diverse art from around the world with Japanese youth in the most accessible way--through the idea of “empathy.” In 2022, the American branch--Mudita America-- was founded and aims to expand Mudita’s shared vision of spreading empathetic connections through arts collaboration. In 2025, Mudita America was nominated as the Best Chamber Music Group for Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando.
