Mission

Leveraging the power of the arts for the wellbeing of all.

What We Do

One Nation/One Project (ONOP) is a national arts and wellness initiative that is helping cities and towns across the U.S. imagine, plan, and create large-scale participatory art projects that build community, redefine a more equitable nation, and increase wellbeing for all. These efforts are paired with scientific research, technical assistance and a robust national narrative strategy to address a moment when the U.S. surgeon general has issued an advisory on the epidemic of loneliness and isolation.

ONOP has a nationally-recognized leadership team and is working in partnership with leaders across the arts and health sectors including with the National League of Cities and the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine.

ONOP has a diverse leadership team including executive director Lex Leifheit and co-artistic directors Clyde Valentin and Lear deBessonet.
