In our first year, the Artist Studio Affordability Project has developed our mission of advocating for a city where artists can afford to live, create, and thrive.

We've gathered support in the art world, built alliances with community organizations, local politicians and businesses, and produced events and trainings that help YOU take action! ASAP wants to be around for a long time, working for the creation and preservation of affordable studio space.

ASAP members have generously supported us through our early phases, and we'd love for your donations to be tax-deductible from now on. To that end, we're seeking a fiscal sponsor. But first, we must raise $1,240 to qualify for fiscal sponsorship and cover our sponsor's fees. We're also raising $860 to host our January 2014 teach-in on the critically important Small Business Jobs Survival Act, $200 for our next year of website hosting and maintenance, and $104 for the fees that support ioby in providing this platform for community organizations like ours. This brings us to a grand total of $2,404 by December 31. You can help us make this happen.

Our funding needs to grow organically from dedicated members of our arts community and our allies. Your donations enable us to build coalitions, host events, and support our artist and neighborhood communities year-round and beyond!
