The new year is off to a flying start with lots of career training events and grant opportunities up and running.

 

What makes it all possible? The support of generous arts lovers like you who contribute to our annual Benefit Art Auction! The Auction is Artist Trust's largest, single fundraising event, accounting for over 20% of our annual income. All proceeds benefit our mission to support individual artists. So get your tickets quick (we always sell out)--and see you there!
