How you can help us help.
Art from the Pandemic Fundraiser
We are raising funds to create and publish a book highlighting both the creative output of our artists as well as the efficacy of art as a path for multiple vulnerable groups in Austin as well as other regions of the U.S. The book, currently titled: Through Our Eyes: Art From the Pandemic, would be part of a larger project including online exhibitions and hopefully a future traveling exhibition.
Success Stories
The benefits of the AFTS program in our artists' own words.
From our streets to your walls.
Original artwork reflects the raw talent and unique and personal points of view of our artists. Prints are available in a wide range of sizes. 95% of the profit of every piece you buy goes directly to the artist.
