FemArt donor hub
FemArt Gallery is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization founded in March 2017. Our goal is to cultivate, promote and support the work of female-identified artists by providing exhibition opportunities, educational programs, and community outreach that invite conversations about the vital contributions of women artists today and in our history. FemArt welcomes the participation of people of all gender expressions and orientations as artists and program participants, members, and supporters. All are encouraged to join us and support women artists in Jacksonville and around the world.
You are key to help bring women artists to the table and to the easel! We need your support to build our gallery and classrooms in the heart of Jacksonville, Florida. Your donation will contribute to operating expenses that support exhibits, art programs, supplies, and employ art degree college graduates in their field of study.
Your Contributions Help Fund…
Art Therapy for Women
Many women artists face traumas due to sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, violence, pay disparity, gender bias and many more emotional blocks that challenge and often cause creative paralysis. FemArt asks for financial support to provide free art therapy to support women artists who can otherwise not afford healthy options to clear a path for artistic expression that ultimately gives her a voice in our cultural identity.
Education Support
Women of Color in the Arts creates important conversations today that helps people to understand the dual marginalization of women of color. Funding this cause allows the videos created in a three part series to be delivered in classrooms in Jacksonville, Florida and Southern Georgia.
Your donations contribute to a certified teacher who is on this panel to be paid to deliver a curriculum that addresses systemic racism in the arts.
Exhibition Support
Although women make up 52% of working artists women continue to only get 17% of gallery space in the United States. There is a direct link to the low visibility of women’s artwork to the pay disparity.
Your funds help support the monthly fees and covers registration of artists who are financially struggling, and many are single mothers who need funding to afford membership and have access to exhibition.
Nonprofit Funding
Every nonprofit organization needs an operation fund that supports the marketing material, staff, phones, insurance, legal, financial support and all of the much needed expenses to run the nonprofit. Your donations in this account help in the overall support of women artists and is essential to the growth of FemArt Gallery. These funds will also help to finance our future studio spaces that will have a childcare facility in-house that will allow women artists to be both parents and great artists!
