Looking Ahead

2025 was a milestone year for the Virgil Abloh Foundation. Across programs, partnerships, and public initiatives, we advanced Virgil’s vision of access, mentorship, and creative equity – empowering emerging talent and building bridges across disciplines.ABLOH AIR students transformed mentorship and studio work into tangible outcomes, including exhibitions, collaborative projects, and public presentations. Mentors and industry leaders offered guidance that shaped confidence, networks, and long-term career pathways.This year also strengthened the VAF community, as alumni, mentors, and partners deepened connections that continue to expand opportunities for young creatives from underrepresented backgrounds.As we move into 2026, the Foundation will build on this momentum – expanding programs, opening new opportunities, and amplifying emerging voices worldwide.
