Ways to Support

We thrive on the support of generous individuals like you who believe in the power of creative expression for young people. We are fortunate to have a strong coalition of supporters, but our work relies on new and renewed contributions.

We need your tax-deductible gifts! By providing one small contribution to ART 180 programs, you help provide young people in the Richmond community a safe space to channel their creativity, while helping them realize their ability to share their stories with others through their creative works. Please donate today.

 

Interested in transferring a gift of stock? We accept marketable securities!
If you'd like to make a gift this way, please contact our Executive Director, Marlene Paul, [email protected]. We have an account at BB&T/Scott & Stringfellow. The account number is 33366636, and our advisor is Joe Farmer at 787-1104.

Even your online shopping can help. Go through www.goodshop.com to your favorite stores. By choosing ART 180 as the charity you good shop for, a percentage of your purchase (at no cost to you) will be donated to us.
 

Amazon also has a program called Amazon Smile. It’s simple. Just go to www.smile.amazon.com every time you shop through Amazon. It’s the same exact platform, and when you purchase goods through www.smile.amazon.com, a percentage of your proceeds support our programs. 
 

We Believe in Young People

Each young person is a valuable part of our community. We promise to offer a supportive and nurturing environment, which allows our young people an opportunity to bring into being the beauty that exists within their creative spirits.

We Believe in Creative Expression

Everyone will be free to be an artist who can give birth to a masterpiece, because we recognize that innovation is the heartbeat of growth.

We Believe in Communication

We seek to provoke ideas and stimulate conversation that encourages self-awareness and expression of diverse perspectives, remove barriers of fear, create a better understanding of humanity, and illuminate hope.

We Believe in Compassion

We advocate kindness to heal division and resolve conflicts, because everyone has a right to be heard, to experience love, and to be treated with dignity and mutual respect.

We Believe in Community

We value the importance of collaborative relationships, which celebrate diversity. We recognize that by sharing together we're capable of making even greater creative contributions that can enhance the well-being and quality of life for the whole.

We Believe in Change

We embrace change as a gift that empowers young people to transform our world through creative expression. It provides opportunities to be passionately engaged in a natural process of learning, challenging complacency and discovering opportunities to live a meaningful life.
