MISSION:

We are committed to connecting communities to the arts. Nuvein Foundation's mission is to raise funds for scholarships for students pursuing a career in the arts and to support those already in the arts. Nuvein is also committed to showcasing the arts through community arts presentations, live performances, and educational programs.

VISION:

To carry out its mission, Nuvein has been building an arts infrastructure beginning in the San Gabriel Valley, where it has established online radio and tv outlets, an e-book online store, an online magazine, as well as a network of partner organizations, private and public. Nuvein Foundation Committees carry out the day to day tasks required in this endeavor.

HISTORY:

Nuvein began as a dream of founder Enrique Diaz. In 1982, as a sailor on the USS New Jersey (BB-62), following that auspicious beginning, Enrique continued gathering stories and sporadically printing them until 1996, when the possibilities of the Web were realized. He dedicated Nuvein to voices rarely heard in a world increasingly devoid of diversity. In 2007, Nuvein became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the help of the community and business leaders from various San Gabriel Valley cities, and established its home in El Monte CA.
