Colorado based Artists' Charitable Fund assists visual artists, painters and sculptors living in the United States, who have been making a living from their art for at least five years - proven by providing copy of latest IRS filing by paying a portion of their medical / dental / eye-care bills. For example, the Fund has purchased a wheelchair, paid for eye surgery, provided funding for an artificial leg, paid partial medical expenses of several artists who have cancer, as well as other needs for medical assistance.

The Artists' Charitable Fund is recognized by the IRS as a 503(c) charitable organization and your donations are tax deductible.

Since its inception over 20 years ago, the Artists' Charitable Fund has paid nearly $500,000 in medical / dental bills for artists in crisis. Please join us at the annual August auction, which is the Artists' Charitable Fund's only fundraiser. This charitable fund provides assistance for artists in crisis. The annual art auction is always held the second Saturday evening of August - adjacent to the major sculpture shows in beautiful Loveland, Colorado.

If you are an artist (in the U.S.A.) who needs financial assistance because of medical, fire or other disaster, please EMAIL our coordinators, Olivia Lundeen and Katie Byrne.
