PinoyArtist.com is now managed by OBRAA

PinoyArtist.com as the premiere online "Raket" marketplace of Filipino creatives is closing its doors as the coronavirus epidemic eases in the Philippines. OBRA Incorporated is happy to serve Filipino artists transitioning their services online. It has been a worthwhile year with lives slowly getting used by the new normal.

The management and operations of PinoyArtist.com will be transferred to OBRAA, a newly established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in California, United States. The website will not cease operation but instead, will be converted to an online portal to promote achievements of Filipino artists across borders.

 

Who is OBRAA?

The pandemic has affected the most vulnerable of the vulnerable. Asians and Pacific Islanders have been blamed on the ongoing COVID-19. The slander born of xenophobia and ignorance are the motivators behind the foundation of the Organization of Benevolent and Responsible Asians in America or simply known as OBRAA.

The organization promotes social inclusion of AAPI minorities through cultural awareness. We provide quality and relevant wellness, lifestyle, culture and arts programs to US citizens and immigrants of Asian heritage regardless of their immigration status. We aim to be the linking bridge to provide opportunities for budding Asian-American youth and enhance their limitless artistic capabilities and utilize technology to advance grassroot programs serving Asians and Pacific Islander communities.

Our organization stands together with you today and everyday going forward with the general rise in hostility that serves as the tragedy’s backdrop is part of the nation’s long history of brutal bigotry against the AAPI population in California and the rest of the United States of America.
