POBA: Where the Arts Live

POBA is the first-ever virtual cultural arts center founded to showcase, promote and preserve the creative work of artists who have died without recognition of the full measure of their talent or creative legacies. POBA artists cover the full spectrum of the arts - music, dance, painting/drawing, film, video, and more. POBA’s mission is simple: to keep their creative works alive, and through them to inspire, provoke, intrigue, entertain, and enliven us. POBA is Where The Arts Live! On POBA you can create displays to showcase an artist’s legacy in any digital forma. It is easy and safe to bring a creative legacy to the public to enjoy. POBA is a great place to discover and enjoy the work and stories of these remarkable artists - ranging from the famous to the infamous, extraordinary to 'regular' folks - whose talents deserve recognition but who have not necessarily received their due. POBA is a program of the James Kirk Bernard Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to honor the life and artistic interests of Jamie Bernard, a young writer and artist (1987- 2010). POBA utilizes his creative legacy to inspire, recognize and support the legacies of talented deceased artists.
