Affinity Art Advocacy

A socially minded economic initiative that reinvests proceeds from Advocacy Art and other collections to offer Portraits of Hope at no cost to individuals and families facing life challenges. It believes that art has the power to connect us, support us, and inspire change in our communities.

Vision

Creating and sharing art that brings people together, offers compassion in difficult times, advances social justice and inclusion, and remains accessible to everyone, regardless of income.
