With increasingly effective programming, AAF is raising awareness of the value of art – by creating opportunities for artists and art-appreciators to connect in ways that are rewarding and that enhance a mutual-appreciation of each other. With your assistance, we are able to support, produce and promote more artists, events and programs that Aspire to Inspire; specifically, ones that may not have the funds to carry out their work without financial assistance. 

Since March 2020, the Artist Advocacy Foundation has given grants to 50 different artists, events and programs around the country, including musicians, painters, photographers, poets, filmmakers, community-centers, and more. With your help, we are able to offer support and inspiration to those who inspire others; specifically, ones that may not have the funds to carry out their work without financial assistance. 

Please consider including AAF in your giving. A donation link is included here. We pledge to administer your gifts wisely.
