Double Your Impact Today!

Our artists know we are stronger together. They uplift and care for each other, and time and again, our donors do the same. 

We face our most dire funding challenges to date. Over the past year alone, we lost more than 40% of our traditional grant funding. At the same time, Arts of Life’s largest earned revenue source, Medicaid, is being threatened like never before. The ramifications will be devastating to our artists.

The reality is that we don’t currently have the resources to sustain our critical work. We need donors to ensure our artists have the daily support and professional opportunities they deserve. Our Spring Appeal must raise at least $60,000 to continue operations through this fiscal quarter.

Your gift has the potential to go even further. Through 6/14, an anonymous foundation is matching all new and increased gifts dollar for dollar up to $15,000! 

Make your gift today. Nothing could help us more.

This is Just the Beginning…

We see every day how transformational this community is for our artists. In 2025 we are taking our artists to new heights:

  • A retrospective museum exhibition
  • Releasing a new book
  • Major press coverage
  • International Art Fairs
  • Continue to expand program enrollment

None of this would be possible without your support. Our artists are ready to put their stamp on the art world. Will you join them?
