(kis·met)
Derived from the Turkish word meaning fate, fortune, or destiny.

We began with the premise that art can enrich and empower
communities in need. Kismot is a non-profit artist collective that brings together internationally acclaimed artists and musicians from the developing world committed to this belief.

Kismot lies at the center of a network of projects throughout the developing world that apply art and music to address poverty, healthcare, education, and conflict. These projects range from inspiring disadvantaged youth in Cambodia through hip-hop dance to rebuilding community identity for refugees in Colombia through sculpture.

Through collaborations with artists, Kismot produces a line of
artist-designed clothing and accessories that incorporate each
artist’s unique style and culture.

20% of profits from every Kismot item you purchase directly support projects throughout the world that use art and music
to empower disadvantaged communities.
