ARM is a grassroots outreach organization championing aging artists across the creative spectrum, with special emphasis on aging, health, the visual arts and performing arts. Through crowdfunding, awareness events, and targeted programs, we strive to Restore, Shelter, Provide, and Preserve the work and well-being of artists in need.

We operate without the burden of traditional overhead. There’s no building lease, no facility maintenance. We’re a fully virtual organization, working from home offices, using personal phones, computers, and supplies to keep the mission going.

Monthly subscriptions at any level receive a 50% discount on all event and table and chair reservations. This fund helps us buy time. Time to organize, respond, research, and show up for the artists we serve.

Subscriptions to ARM that support our paid staff to oversee, website, funding, special events, bookkeeping, oversight for gifting & and archives, Wikipedia entries, and miscellaneous expenses. It's very important to keep these resources separate from donations to our other programs. Please sign up for a monthly donation so we can build a team around these regular small donations. We take care of all the expenses. However need your support to do the job.

THESE FUNDS GO TO:

1. Research and posting our continued investigation of resources helpful to the Performing Arts, and in particular opportunities for the Visual Arts, opportunities for gifting Fine Art to institutions both public and private and connection to consultants working on projects large and small for the Plastic Arts.

2. Maintaining a Gifting area to help with downsizing collections and to ensure the values of works of art posted there. Registered visitors can post images for Giving Art. Registered visitors can post images for Giving Art but we still to assist and keep watch.

3.Maintaining an archive to preserve documents and maintain the station on the web providing users an archive to post their documents visible to a Google search missing because the documents were either not posted to the internet or published prior to the internet’s prominence in 1996.

We accomplish this without the costs of an physical building. We have an on line staff of a Director (Fulltime), a Secretary for Bookings, Events, and Correspondence (Fulltime), a Treasurer for Bookkeeping and Reports (part time), a Grants Writer overseeing donations, & subscriptions, a Technical Support Director who acts as our Web Master and Archiving, as well as a Wikipedia writer to document our Visual and Performing artists' careers.

Collaborations

Published Books

Founder Dan M Allison: Started his career in 1980 in Houston Texas as a printmaker at Little Egypt Enterprises, collaborated with the HWCA to present a Houston TX city wide exhibition the "1984 Show" and in 1994 formed the first iteration of Art Rescue Mission with an event at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. As an artist Allison first gained international recognition in 1987 when he was awarded the Grand Prix at the 17th Biennial of Graphic Art in Ljubljana, then part of Yugoslavia, for his three-panel collagraphic triptych, Between Heaven and Earth. Selected from over 1,800 entries across 57 countries, he joined a distinguished group of past honorees that includes Joan Miró, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, and David Hockney. In the years that followed, he founded Texas Collaborative Arts in Houston, focusing on the creative partnership between printer and artist, and later launched two influential gallery spaces, Nau-haus and d. m. allison gallery, dedicated to emerging and established visual artists. Since 2016, his work has turned toward archiving, digital media, and writing, with ongoing contributions to catalogs and Wikipedia as part of a broader effort to preserve and document independent art.
