Artists for Artists Global

Celebrating, Supporting and
Lifting all Artists Globally

Now more than ever, the arts need to be kept alive….. without culture, what is a society?

Artists for Artists is a project dedicated to promoting the growth of art and artists of all kinds through donations of materials, development of shared exhibits and opportunities, offering of professional mentorship and guidance, and more.

We strive to assist artists in all parts of the world to be supported, encouraged, and assisted to hone their craft, increase their skills and talents, be recognized, see themselves as the true artists they are, and help bring more beauty to the world.

Artists for Artists Global (A4Ag) was founded by Rosa McAllister and Michael Sean Degnan after a momentous trip to Cuba in March 2023 to visit artists and bring them needed supplies, and then months later a devastating fire occurred in their hometown of Lahaina, HI which wiped out the famous town and all of its art galleries. Desperate to help artists like Michael Sean, other Lahaina artists, and those they met in Cuba, they formed this project to advance the arts through supporting artists of all genres and experience levels by providing needed supplies, events, mentoring, and connections with other artists.
