"We give broken Angles time to mend a wing. Recourses for the time it takes to heal, pay rent & bills, after sudden illness or accident" Project Manager 16 hrs./ month
Arts Rescue Mission (ARM) is a non-profit outreach program providing urgent assistance to artists in crisis. Using crowdsourced funding techniques, we swiftly support recovery after illness or injury by reactivating retired contact lists from our affiliates. Giving artists the time to pursue grants and other long-term aid. Benefits from ARM or any crowdsource funding list typically reach individuals within 72 hours. We have a page dedicated to instructions about how to do this, best source, and best practices for crowdfunding, We can't initiate this for you. Crowdfunding doesn't work that way. It's you and the trust you have built up with your friends & family that get the ball rolling. Make sure that we are on your email list, and you are on ours. We will send out the submissions that come in to the ARM subscribers each week, but it's always their choice. Who are we? It's a very democratic way to help out. An emoji indicates special attention as emails that pass through the users inbox. It's yes or no. Either they think this is a good one and want to contribute a few dollars giving a broken angel time to mend, or not. We will host awareness events via Zoom and by having seminars regarding crowdfunding and what we can do as a creative arts group to fill in for funding no longer available from the institutions we have come to depend on.

Pictures above Houston based artist Perry House. Perry was a really great artist and a really great friend of mine I'm proud to say. We met him 1982 when I moved in across from the 11th Street Cafe at the corner of Studewood and 11th Street. Every morning Perry, Dick Wray, Lucas Johnson, Don Foster, and once a week Richard Stout taught me how to be a real artist, which they insisted meant drinking all the beer in Chet and Pat's 8 ft. beer cooler that ran behind the serving counter in the cafe. This went on for several years. Almost 30 years later I became his art dealer, I know it's one of the highlights in my days as a gallerist. As the days and years caught up with my friend, I wished I could have done more for him in the moment. As a gallery I was able to do an extensive 100 page catalog on Perry before he passed, and ARM will endeavor to publish a bigger full size color book about this great talent in 2028. Here are a few of the images from our archive on Perry House, his method, and his studio. - DM Allison
