Patricia Santos
Chief Executive Officer
Patricia Santos is a Dominican-American artist from Yonkers, NY. For over 10 years, Patricia has been a noteworthy leader in the art space. You may know her from her work as the founder and CEO of The We Art One Artist Collective, but she can also be credited with contributions as a community leader, educator, and artist curator. She has been instrumental in forming and expanding the artist collective into the non-profit organization that stands today.
We Art One provides affordable artist studios and takes a non-traditional approach to creative programming for the local community and beyond. Committed to bringing healing and change into spaces with little to no access to art, Patricia, as a proud Latina, has strong ties to the Dominican Republic. She has expanded her organization to the DR, providing a camp that promotes social-emotional expression through art.
Patricia has been honored by the Westchester Multicultural Chambers as a rising leader and by the Yonkers Chamber Of Commerce for Women of Excellence for entrepreneurship. Outside of running her non-profit organization, Patricia is the proud Director of the Yonkers Family YMCA clubhouse, providing support, education, structure, and stability for youth and young adults. Patricia remains dedicated to her passion and mission of helping youth, as well as anyone interested in art and entrepreneurship, to further develop their skills.
