Donate

Every donation, regardless of size, has a meaningful impact and helps us continue our mission!

Fundraisers/Events

At least once time each year we host a fundraiser event like this year's Fresh Paint, featuring silent and live auctions bidders won safaris in Africa, local getaways, dinners and more. We also hold sales or exhibits, throughout the year. Bids and purchases from these events pay our overhead, including staff, marketing, and general upkeep, as well as help support special programming, like TRASH, ArtClub, and more.

General Fund / Program Support

We ALWAYS need and appreciate funding support for our programs and projects. We presently operate our non-profit solely on small commissions, grant-funded projects, and donations from individuals in our community.

Any donation amount matters and helps!

Sponsor an Apprentice

Teen artists are mentored by our Lead Artists during four to six-week sessions on a specific project. These young apprentices are paid. Your $300 contribution gets you an exclusive insight into the artistic and personal journey through email updates featuring photos and video recordings.

1 Session - $300

3 sessions - $900

6 sessions - $1800
