WORLDOFi is dedicated to integrating communities and enriching culture by spreading art from city to city around the world. 

WORLDOFi’s clothing line is designed by the co-founder of the company. It is used to lift the spirits while also informing the community of the injustices in society. With art being one of the leading forces in social activism, WORLDOFi hopes to propel the fight for equality.

We welcome you to join us for a display of both visual art and the performances of local poets.
