The NO•AD Foundation is a philanthropic initiative established to honour the legacy of interior designer Nike Onile. A Canadian of Nigerian descent and founder of Studio Ode, Nike died of breast cancer in the summer of 2023, leaving an indelible mark on the world of art and design.
The NO•AD Foundation’s mission is to support diverse Canadian artists and creatives as they embark on their careers. Nike’s career journey was unique. She initially studied biotechnology before venturing into the healthcare industry. Her true calling, however, was the world of design, art and media. The NO•AD Foundation is committed to preserving and championing Nike’s vision — a vision dedicated to reshaping the boundaries of artistic expression and design.
The NO•AD Fund is committed to fostering diversity in the world of art and design by supporting emerging Canadian artists, creatives and designers.
