Artterra is a creative studio
where art and activism meet
We collaborate with artists, collectives, and organizations worldwide to bring powerful projects to life, from festivals and documentaries to immersive installations and pop-up campaigns.
Every project we take on is driven by a clear purpose: to tell stories that heal, challenge, and inspire change.
Our Evolution
Artterra began as an online art gallery and shop, showcasing emerging artists and curating collections that paired creativity with social purpose. Those early years built our foundation: working closely with artists, building visibility, and experimenting with how art can live beyond the canvas.
As our collaborations grew, so did our vision. What started as a gallery has now evolved into a creative studio, one that doesn’t just exhibit art, but co-creates projects that blend storytelling, activism, and community.
Our Values
We believe art takes many forms: bold, quiet, joyful, disruptive, but all of it has the power to create change.
- Art is activism → sometimes loud and urgent, sometimes gentle and invitational, always a force for awareness and transformation.
- Art is healing → helping us process, reconnect, and create space for renewal.
- Art is storytelling → carrying the memory of communities, cultures, and movements into the future.
- Art is collaboration → most powerful when it brings people together across borders and disciplines.
- Art is impact → not just to be seen, but to move hearts, spark dialogue, and shift systems.
These values guide everything we do. Each project is designed not only to exist in the world, but to help reimagine it.
Our Founding Story
Artterra was founded by Parisa Golchoubian, a serial social entrepreneur, artist, activist, and engineer.
A digital nomad and global citizen at heart, Parisa builds companies and projects that align with her deepest values, from Retide, her ocean-tech startup tackling plastic pollution, to her own art practice rooted in environmental and social causes.
Our Mission
To amplify creativity as a force for social and environmental impact.
Through storytelling and collaboration, we use art as a catalyst for dialogue, resilience, and systemic change.
Our Projects
We combine the imagination of an art studio with the systems thinking of engineers, bringing both creativity and operational rigor to every project.
From retreats and festivals to documentaries, immersive installations, and pop-up campaigns, our work spans mediums but always centers around impact.
Land Acknowledgment
Artterra recognizes that our work takes place on Indigenous lands cared for since time immemorial. We honour the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples whose deep connection to land and water continues to teach us what true stewardship looks like.
Our environmental mission is guided by this responsibility and respect.
