ArtForce
Art | Opportunity | Connections
We believe in simple ideas, strong relationships, and lasting impact.
ArtForce was founded on a simple but powerful idea — that art has the power to inspire, connect, and create lasting change.
We host curated, award-based art shows at partner venues, from wineries and hotels to coworking spaces and cultural centers. Each artist who participates is paired with a child or individual in need, supported through partnerships with trusted nonprofits and social enterprises.

Through art programs, mentorship, and creative opportunities, ArtForce supports individuals in developing purpose, confidence, and pathways for personal and economic growth.

Mission
Welcome to ArtForce, where creativity meets purpose, and where art transforms lives.
I’m Lisa O’Reilly, the founder of ArtForce. My journey to creating this platform is deeply personal, shaped by the challenges and triumphs of navigating complex life experiences, including supporting my son through recovery. My family and I started working together to create the programs at ArtForce after I transitioned from CX/SaaS/AI career.
At ArtForce, we believe in the transformative power of art. Our mission is to connect individuals from all walks of life to provide the tools & resources they need to enhance their lives through creativity.
