artists thrive in community when…

…Agitator works with your support!

  • Contribute

    Agitator Artists Collective is a cooperative network of artists, actors and activists creatively empowering themselves through collaboration, resource sharing and community building.

    Your contributions support the day-to-day operational expenses of managing the gallery space and staffing programming and events. From hiring models for the figure drawing classes to affording materials to install the gallery exhibitions to keeping the lights on, every event our artists and audiences attend has been brought to them, in part, by the support of our donors and sponsors.

    Please make your tax-deductible donation to support our not-for-profit. THANK YOU; your support charges us to do more!

Make a donation

Agitator relies on its programs of events and activities for revenue, donations at art openings and closings, sales of artwork, and the generous support of individuals and groups to sustain itself. We have received grants since 2023, but because we are a small not-for-profit the effect of individual gifts makes a vital impact on our operating budget.
