Private Donations
Your monthly or one-time individual donation directly enters the Artist Fund. Here, artists access funding to purchase art supplies, education, membership fees and exhibit materials. A special thanks to Mike Burns, David Gill and Norine Jaloway, Curt and Joan Wade and other donors that share their personal resources with us!

Grants
Grants are our primary source of operations funding. Paying the light bill may not seem as glamorous as purchasing a canvas for an emerging artist, but these expenses are crucial to our daily operations. Imagine Art currently operates from grant contract with the City of Austin Economic Growth and ReDevelopment, Cultural Contracts Divsion.

Corporate Sponsorship
We invite businesses from our community to take part in supporting the artists we serve. Through direct cash donations, materials or volunteers, your business can impact the lives of our artists. We want to recognize Floorking, Imagine Enterprises, Jerry's Art-a-Rama and Whole Foods for their generous and ongoing support! Online You can also support us through Network for Good. All Donations are tax-deductable!

Engage in Community with Us! 

Register as an Artist
Imagine Art serves artists with disabilities that are intentional about professionally accessing the arts. Our services are designed to support the artist to develop a body of work and identify the market for that work. Artists can then become established in the arts, contributing their talents to the arts community.

We expect that artists create art regularly and continue to evolve, learn and grow in their art. Imagine Art expects that artists share their resources, time, talents to strengthen the team! We ask that artists find their niche in our group and give back regularly.

Download the Artist Registration Form, fill it out and mail it to Imagine Art. The address is listed on the form. If you can not download the form, email us at imagineartaustin@yahoo.com and request a snail mail version and be sure to include your full address. Print, fill out and mail the registration form back to Imagine Art. You must include a $10 registration fee and photo samples of your work. Debbie Kizer will review your packet and contact you by phone to schedule an interview. Be prepared to bring orignal samples of your work, a portfolio (if you have one) and a list of your goals and your needs.

Every artist is not automatically accepted. We want to make sure that our services meet your needs and that we have the resources to serve you.

Volunteer your Time and Talents!
Imagine Art has created a Volunteer Program - but ours is a little unusual! In addition to recruiting volunteers to serve Imagine Art, we are recruting volunteers to serve others in the community! We still love to have our volunteers serving here, but we want to share you with the community as well!
