Sponsor an Artist Studio: Empower LGBTQIA+ Voices
Art is a powerful catalyst for social change and community healing, yet physical studio space remains out of reach for many emerging creatives. The Fabulous Arts Foundation Artist Residency Program is seeking dedicated donors and community partners to sponsor a dedicated studio space at our 925 N Lime Ave facility. Your sponsorship breaks down systemic and financial barriers, granting underrepresented LGBTQIA+ artists—especially those without financial means free, dedicated studio access to develop their practice, express their authentic identity, and share their work with our community.
What Your Sponsorship Covers
Each residency costs between $7,000 and $20,000 and directly funds:
Dedicated Studio Access: Private, safe physical studio space at 925 Maddox Gallery.
Community Workshops: Funding for the resident artist to design, facilitate, and host free community art workshops.
Commission & Material Stipends: Direct financial support enabling the artist to create a signature, original work during their residency.
Exhibition & Showcase: Exhibition space at 925 Maddox Gallery to showcase the artist's completed work to the public.
By donating today, you give low-income and underrepresented LGBTQIA+ creators the platform, space, and freedom to thrive.
