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.

- Accessibility improvements for performances and exhibits, including captioning and alternative formats
