About

Without the artist, there is no art.

The Artist Advocacy Foundation (AAF) is helping raise awareness as to the value and power of art. With your help, we provide support and assistance to artists, events and programs that Aspire to Inspire.

In the past two years, AAF has awarded grants to more than 40 different artists, musicians, poets, painters, writers, actors, dancers, photographers and more, in the form of:

Artist Grants – Medical Grants – Education Grants – and Venue Grants

to help cover the costs of living and working as an artist, paying for things like materials and supplies, medical and dental, rent, repairs, production, promotion and more. In addition, AAF has helped fund several venues, camps, and arts festivals.

With your assistance, we are able to support, produce and promote artists, events and programs that Aspire to Inspire; specifically, ones who cannot carry out their work without financial assistance.

Help fuel and spread the force of inspiration, deepen our experience and vitalize our community, by becoming an Artist Advocate.
