Eduardo Ojeda shares how The Art Dome empowers emerging artists through community, mentorship, and global collaboration.

Eduardo Ojeda, Founder of The Art Dome, is leading a global movement that empowers emerging artists to thrive.

In this exclusive interview, he shares his journey, vision, and why building a collaborative community is key to reshaping the future of art.

 

In 1999, Eduardo moved from Colombia to Miami, where he pursued an MBA while supporting Felipe Grimberg, a renowned art collector. Surrounded by works of Botero and Picasso, Eduardo discovered a calling that would later evolve into The Art Dome, a platform designed to empower artists beyond visibility.

Founding The Art Dome: A Platform for Artists

The Art Dome was born out of necessity: too many emerging artists lacked mentorship, infrastructure, and networks. Eduardo envisioned an ecosystem of support—a place where visibility meets real-world tools for sustainable careers.

The Art Dome doesn’t just showcase art—it builds belonging. By fostering mentorship, offering resources, and creating shared opportunities, it transforms isolation into collaboration.

Challenges in Building a New Model

With no roadmap for an art incubator, Eduardo faced uncertainty. Yet, persistence and conviction in advocacy for artists kept him moving forward. The Art Dome became a pioneering model that challenges traditional systems and amplifies artist voices.

Where is The Art Dome expanding next?

Eduardo envisions hubs in major U.S. cities and eventually worldwide, creating a global network of support.

Impactful Moments of Belonging

One highlight for Eduardo was inviting an Art Dome artist to a prestigious gala for the first time. Witnessing their recognition and joy crystallized his belief: community is as vital as sales.

“Even if you haven’t had the sales yet, what you’ve created with us in building this community is a major accomplishment.” — Edgar Jiménez

The Future: A Global Art Movement
