If music, poetry, film, paintings, or art of any kind has ever comforted you, inspired you, challenged you, or helped you feel less alone, then you already understand its power.

There are artists pouring their hearts into work that moves us, but many lack the resources needed to keep creating. That’s where AAF steps in, and where you can make a difference.

A gift this season directly supports local creators and the programs that help them share their stories. If you are able, we invite you to give today and help keep creativity alive.

We’re so grateful for your support. Donate now via the link below.

Gerald DiPego is taking the stage for a night of stories and celebration at the Maverick Saloon!

On Wednesday, November 19, join us as we celebrate the release of “Remote”, Jerry’s newest novel. We’re kicking things off with live music at 5:30, followed by Jerry at 7. He’ll share two new short stories, a letter to his younger self, and reflections from his life as a working writer.

All ticket proceeds benefit Artist Advocacy Foundation and our mission to support artists and creative programs.

Tickets are available now! Don’t miss the chance to hear Jerry live and support a great cause.

We want to give a big thank you to everyone who has celebrated their birthday by starting a Facebook fundraiser for Artist Advocacy Foundation!

Some of you expressed disappointment in not raising more, but believe us, every little bit helps fuel the work, and we are so grateful. Every fundraiser helps introduce AAF to new friends, families, and communities who value the work of the artist. That kind of exposure helps us grow and reach even more artists in need of support.

We are humbled to be a part of your birthday celebrations. Thank you for thinking of us!
