Visual Aid encourages artists with life-threatening illnesses to continue their creative work.

Help fund grants to Visual Aid artists!

The grant awards are addressed, stamped, and ready to go–but Visual Aid needs to raise $5,000 before we put them in the mail. Your donation will help underwrite the creative work of artists with life-threatening illnesses.

Keep art alive by helping Visual Aid meet our goal! Your generous donation of $1,500 will ensure that Visual Aid can restock our ArtBank so that member artists will have paint and brushes when they need them. $1,000 will underwrite a Visual Aid exhibition. $500 will help an artist frame their work and $100 will pay for 10 brushes. Your monthly donation of $25 will go towards the purchase of stretched canvasses, our most requested item. Donate online, by check or call 415-777-8242 to charge your contribution.
