Rooted in Justice. Growing through Art.
Give & Grow With Us | Giving Tuesday 2025
Dear ArtsXchange Community,
Here, art belongs to everyone.For more than four decades, the ArtsXchange has stood as a sanctuary for artists, storytellers, creative entrepreneurs, and community builders. In 2025 alone, we served over 10,000 people, and our spaces welcomed more than 17,000 individuals for exhibitions, workshops, performances, environmental programming, event rentals, and community gatherings.
Every voice lifted, every story shared, every seed planted, and every young person who steps into their creativity is possible because people like you choose to invest in justice and transformation through art.
This Giving Tuesday, and as we move into 2026, we ask for your continued support to expand the work that has taken root—and to grow new possibilities that nourish our community for generations.
With gratitude,
The ArtsXchange Team
