Art[ID]

Fund the
infrastructure
artists need.

Art [ID] grows one phase at a time. Every dollar moves us closer to a future where working artists have the spaces, services, and support to stay rooted in the neighborhoods they shape.

Where it goes

Three phases.
Three fundraising goals.

Each phase makes the next one possible. Here’s what each one costs, what it builds, and how your donation moves the work forward.
