The Vanderbilt Republic is a creative agency established to enable paradigm shifts. Presently, we’re examining the purpose and place of the artist in society.

Social and commercial systems of apartness have fostered an atmosphere of scarcity; a tiny fraction of artists thrive.

We’re exploring a new way — through cooperative, vibrant, small-footprint platforms for artists connected to the soul of their craft.

We publish original content online, stage pop-up happenings that cultivate community, and develop large-scale content delivery platforms to emphasize the centrality of art to the human experience.

A better world is ours for the making and the tools to do the job already exist. What remains is to dispel any illusion that this work belongs to anyone but ourselves.
