Mission Statement
Our mission is to support practicing visual artists so they can remain in increasingly expensive cities.
About This Cause
Living Artists Collective is a nonprofit organization empowering artists to spend more time creating and less time struggling to make ends meet. We offer grants for low-income artists, hold public art events, provide educational materials for artists and the public, and help build artistic community. All these programs are designed to fairly pay and lift up the city’s hardworking creatives. The problem we are looking to solve is that cities like Seattle and the surrounding areas are making less and less sense for artists without a financial safety net. Artists are relied upon to create culture: throw events, craft art for public consumption, and generally make their neighborhoods desirable. Then they are priced out of living there. Our vision for the future is a community filled with art appreciators that possesses a clear roadmap to retaining culture-making artists. We want artists to have increased creative freedom and access to practical resources. We want to see more low-income artists living, working, and thriving in the Seattle area. It’s a great start to purchase from local artists. This empowers creatives to build their own businesses and support themselves. It’s even better to financially support low-income creatives so that Seattle area prices can be a more manageable reality.
