The Masai Mara ProjectArtist Liang MingYu (pictured above with her husband at the Tate Museum), best known as an international fashion designer, has created this memorable exhibit that carries a two-fold purpose: (i) to alert the world about the egregious effects that the denim industry has on the world's freshwater supply; and, (ii) the plight of the elephants in Africa suffering from poaching  and loss of habitat. She accomplishes this through a fashion show that utilizes recycled denim (pictured below) and through her hand-sewn full-size elephants made from used denim. Her goal is to save billions of gallons of water and land from being contaminated by the chemical processes used to manufacture denim. The exhibit was recently featured at the Tate Museum in London and in Beijing.  It is our goal to bring this exhibit to San Francisco and other cities throughout the United States in 2023. You can help us make this possible by making a dedicated donation to this event.

Artist GrantsHelp us provide grants to worthy artists, now and in the future. Our Artist  Grants go to self-employed studio artists who fall below certain income thresholds. Each year we provide an unrestricted grant that can be used however the artist wishes... to help with expenses, medical bills, programs or exhibits. Help us achieve our goal for 2022 and beyond. Your donation in any amount is greatly appreciated. Donations can be dedicated exclusively to our Artist Grant Program.

Exhibition GrantsThese grants are available to art organizations that could use some help with a sspecific exhibt or their own exhibition plans and schedules. We can help provide funding for your event. The event must exclusively display representational fine art to be considered. Help us achieve our goal for 2021 and beyond by dedicating your donation to our Exhibition Grant Program.

Incubator GrantsOur incubator grant program is designed to assist small municipalities or counties with much needed funding for the construction of art-oriented museum or gallery space. It must be substantially used for traditional fine art purposes and, most critically, be located in a viable commercial locale. The space should exhibit the qualities to provide a commercially viable environment for artists to display their art, conduct demonstrations and develop community awareness of the local art community.  Donations can be dedicated exclusively to this program.
