Celebrating Guamanian art & culture.

Project GUAM showcases the creative talents of Guamanian artists and explores the rich cultural heritage of Guam. Our mission is to spread awareness about art and culture while also giving a platform for artists to showcase their work and inspire the next generation of creatives.

We believe that art is an important tool for cultural preservation and expression, and that it can bring people together across different backgrounds and experiences. By highlighting Guam’s diversity of art and culture, we hope to foster a sense of community and pride among our readers and encourage them to explore their own creative spirit. Our blog features interviews with artists working in a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, jewelry making, and more. Through these interviews, we learn about the artists' inspirations, techniques, and ultimately, their unique stories.
