Fresh Artists is an innovative concept of student-centric philanthropy.
We believe art is a canvas that provides hope, purpose and voice to future generations of creative thinkers.
Fresh Artists is a non profit organization dedicated to saving artmaking for all children and creating real opportunity for children to be philanthropic. Funding for art education in public schools has been drastically cut over the past 25 years. As an example, over the last 4 years in Philadelphia, only 83¢ per child per year was allocated for art supplies. In this school year ('09-'10) that allocation has ended, but the number of art teachers has been increased 63% over the past 4 years!
The need for support is urgent.
Fresh Artists is a new model of civic engagement where children and benefactors are full and equal partners in the common goal: to save access to art making for all children.
Fresh Artists supplies art supplies to art teachers in the most under-resourced public schools, and engages the children being served as full philanthropic partners in the giving process.
We invite you to support Fresh Artists and receive the gift of vibrant artwork from the children!
Fresh Artists actively seeks financial donations to our 501(c)(3) organization. Donations to Fresh Artists are tax deductible. Fresh Artists is a public charitable organization and not part of any particular school district.
