What we do
Vibrant art-making is a mark of a healthy society. Yet many of us wouldn’t describe our society as such. Beyond Artists is a coalition of artists that want to use their public platform to expand awareness of organizations that, like artists, are trying to make our communities healthier.
How we do it
Every artist on our roster has pledged to donate a portion - any portion - of each project fee to an organization they care about and to list this in their bios. By doing this, we can expand awareness of their work through our audiences.
(Suggested bio options for current members is under the “Join Us” tab.)
