Who We Are
The Art to Action Foundation is a registered non-profit that brings artists together to raise awareness of, and address social issues, particularly those impacting girls and women.
Our art shows and fundraisers benefit grassroots organizations that are committed to empowering girls and women to take control of their own lives and outcomes. We partner with organizations all over the world to battle social issues like human trafficking, child marriage, female genital mutilation, homelessness, gender-based violence, and discrimination. We award grants and donations to support activities that contribute to equity and equality for women in areas such as education, healthcare, work, pay, and financial inclusion.
We organize programs to educate communities and shift cultural mindsets, provide free art classes to those who need it most, and help design publicity materials for partner events that line up with our mission.
Our volunteer artists and social change activists are always excited to work with you to bring attention to a social issue that you would like to highlight and address in your community.
Together, we can make the world a better place.
... An artist is...constantly alive to the heartrending...things that happen in the world, ..shaping himself completely in their image.….No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the [world's problems].
~Pablo Picasso
