Overview

Open Arts is a program dedicated to keeping creativity accessible for everyone. By funding open access workshops, collaborative projects, and affordable tools, we empower artists, educators, and communities to create without barriers. Your support directly advances inclusive art that speaks to a broad audience and builds sustainable paths for creators who might otherwise be priced out.

With a focus on openness, accessibility, and shared resources, this initiative channels contributions into tangible benefits for learners, exhibitors, and audiences alike. Every donation helps sustain programs that lower entry barriers and expand opportunities for emerging voices.

Why Your Support Matters

Accessibility in the arts is not just about access to venues; it is about access to knowledge, tools, and networks. By investing in Open Arts, you help unlock a more equitable landscape where creative work can thrive regardless of background or means. Here are the core impact areas we prioritize:

  • Expanded access to workshops and mentorship for underrepresented artists
  • Open licensing and shared resources that reduce costs for communities
  • Support for early-career creators through micro-grants and stipends
  • Accessibility improvements for performances and exhibits, including captioning and alternative formats

How Donations Are Used

Transparency guides every budget decision. Funds are allocated toward program delivery, platform hosting, and community outreach, with an emphasis on sustainable growth and measurable outcomes. Typical allocations include:

  • Program delivery such as workshops, residencies, and collaborative projects
  • Artist stipends and honoraria to ensure fair compensation
  • Open access publishing, licensing, and distribution of resources
  • Platform hosting, security, and accessibility tooling
  • Community outreach, translation, and inclusive events

We publish annual reports and funding summaries that show how every dollar is used, along with milestones and impact metrics. This openness helps build trust and invites constructive feedback from the community.
