Support Us to Help Local Past and Present Festival of Arts Artists
As a non-profit organization, your tax deductible donation supports our
Artists Fund Hardship Grant Fund and our Artists Fund Enrichment Grant Fund program.
The Artists Fund is a non-profit organization based at Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach California. Founded in 1999, The Artist Fund provides two grant programs for Festival exhibitors, past and present: Hardship Grants, which provide financial relief to artists suffering from medical issues, disaster, or unexpected circumstances, and merit-based Enrichment Grants, for artists improving and expanding career practices. Additional programs include professional development seminars for exhibitors, and art shows, demonstrations, and events for the public. Funds are generated through art exhibition sales and auctions, sponsorships, and private donations.
The Artists Fund at the Festival of Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Tax ID #27-3300715.
We welcome all personal as well as business sponsors. For sponsorship information, please feel free to contact us via email or call us at 949-612-1949.

“A BIG THANK YOU to all of you for helping me move toward completion of my first photography book! The Artists Fund Enrichment Grant covered the design costs for the cover and 24-page book preview. My shooting is almost complete, with two interiors yet to photograph – the Laguna Playhouse, and the Sandpiper Bar, once they reopen. Next, onto what I feel will be the most difficult part of this project - deciding which images make the final cut, and which do not!”

Art-To-Go
A key source of revenue for The Artists Fund at the Festival of Arts is the Art-To-Go, the highly successful Summer fundraising sale of fine art donated by about 60 Festival of Arts artists. Proceeds of the artwork support The Artists Fund Hardship Grant.
This year, the theme of Art-To-Go is “From Local – To Global.” and art will be available for purchase online.
Additional funds are also raised throughout the year for our Artist Enrichment Program. Many thanks to our sponsors listed above for Art‐To‐Go plus the generosity of our patrons, who purchase the art during our sales and auctions.
See the artwork on display near Tivoli Lane and also available for purchase online from July 3 – August 29, 2021
