Arts Rescue Mission -Aid For Aging Artists
4 Hands - 1 Purpose
Shelter
Arts Rescue Mission provides complete art collection documentation, including identifying, measuring, photographing, cataloging, editing, reasonable expectation of value, and organizing artwork, collectibles, furniture, and other objects into searchable digital files and archival books. Our experienced crew can also carefully pack and move collections into storage or to another home, studio, gallery, or office, preparing them for preservation, insurance, sale, gifting, or future use. Our rate is $17.50 per object. Our paying clients help us do our pro bono work
2. Shelter Program / Save, Move, and Document Your Works Of Art. We Initiate Crowdfunding for Artists and Their Work
Pro Bono Subsidized Storage to Protect a Lifetime of Work
Purpose:
To help aging visual artists preserve their legacy by subsidizing the cost of safe, professional storage for artworks, archives, and lifetime collections, a growing need as artists face limited space, rising storage prices, and diminishing support from institutions traditionally funded to safeguard the arts.
Why Shelter Is Needed Now:
Institutional and governmental cutbacks have reduced the number of programs that once offered archiving, storage, and preservation assistance. Many senior visual artists are at risk of losing decades of work simply because they can no longer afford to store or protect it. ARM fills this gap.
Our approach is different. As part of our outreach model, our Advisory Council, comprised of artists, collectors, curators, and professionals across the state, identifies urgent needs and opportunities aligned with our mission. They make recommendations to our Board of Governors, who vote to release funds directly.
We are looking (09-15-2025) for a volunteer or volunteers to put in about 4 hours a week for this program. This will be a paid position as we move forward with our grant writing, and donations. If you are interested please contact us! artsrescue2025@gmail.com or signup here.
