Overview
Open Digital Art is a community driven initiative that champions open standards, collaborative processes, and equitable access to digital art creation. Through shared tooling, open sources, and transparent practices, we empower artists, educators, and technologists to build, remix, and share works that push creative boundaries. Your support fuels the ongoing work of making these resources reliable, accessible, and inviting to newcomers around the world.
The project aims to lower barriers, enabling creators to publish interactive works, experiments, and educational content without friction. With steady funding, we can invest in hosting, documentation, and tooling that scale with curiosity rather than ad hoc grants. This is about continuity, not a sprint.
Why Your Support Matters
Open Digital Art thrives on collaboration. Donations enable a global network of creators to experiment openly and to share resources that otherwise would be out of reach. By contributing, you join a mission to expand access to open digital art workflows, education, and community led initiatives. The impact is measured not just in works published, but in the knowledge that these tools stay accessible to students, hobbyists, and professionals alike.
