    Artists for Artists Global: Monthly Gatherings


    October 16, 2024

    Artists For Artists Global is a new and exciting non-profit project which was inspired after 2023 trip to Cuba, where we connected with local artists and their work, leaving behind suitcases filled with donated art supplies and personal items. We asked ourselves, how can we reach and empower more talented artists in a world where access to what they need in the way of supplies, business practices or recognition for their accomplishments, might be an issue?
