The Global Academy for Inspirational Arts (GAIA Foundation) is a 501-c-3 not for profit organization. We are dedicated to enriching lives by making it possible for everyone to fully participate in all the genres of art. Some may only wish to look or listen, others may wish to learn and then to do. This fine arts section is dedicated to making the works of the masters become available to all. GAIA is committed to, and solidly invested in, our worldwide community. Enticing world-class performers, musicians, and artists of all types to our participating venues in Tamarindo Costa Rica, is just the beginning. Outreach to our communities, through classes taught by globally renowned masters of their art, as well as inspirational experiences, will serve to bring us together for even greater things. Although the fine arts portions of our foundation is aided by many, the primary actors are: Charlotte Yates Founder & CEO, Todd Murray Principal & Co founder, Lonnie E. Collin ESQ Secretary & Treasurer. The GAIA Foundation was previously the “Yates Art Foundation” (YAF) The Yates Art Foundation was founded on July 18, 1997. In 2023 (YAF) became GAIA.
