Through ART 180’s partnership with the Network for Good, donating is simple. You can even schedule multiple donations if you like.

Your donation goes to help uncover and release the creative talent in Richmond’s youth. Part of ART 180’s motivation comes from our belief in the youth population; their emotions and ideas are bigger than they are and we want to provide them with a space to showcase their feelings and imagination. As former U.S. Poet Laureate Rita Dove once said:

If our children are unable to voice what they mean, no one will know how they feel. If they can’t imagine a different world, they are stumbling through a darkness made all the more sinister by its lack of reference points. For a young person growing up in America’s alienated neighborhoods, there can be no greater empowerment than to dare to speak from the heart-and then to discover that one is not alone in one’s feelings.

Thank you for helping Richmond-area kids positively express themselves and showcase their talents.
