Support LGBTQ+ and Marginalized Artists with Arttitude
Arttitude is a dynamic organization dedicated to uplifting LGBTQ+ artists and artists from historically marginalized communities. Our programs are designed to empower, educate, and create a platform for artists to express themselves on vital issues affecting their lives. We are excited to share our vision with you and invite you to make a financial contribution that can make a real difference.
C.A.R.E.S. Program The C.A.R.E.S. program at Arttitude focuses on raising awareness about HIV/AIDS and improving access to healthcare for the LGBTQ+ community. Your support enables us to create meaningful artistic and community engagement opportunities on this critical topic. By reducing stigma, building trust, and amplifying the voices of those affected by HIV/AIDS, we positively impact healthcare in Texas.
MariconX MariconX is an art concept that provides a haven for LGBTQ+ Latinx artists to share their powerful stories and address issues affecting their communities. These talented individuals have often been marginalized in art and LGBTQ history. Your donation helps us support and elevate queer, trans, and gender non-conforming Latinx artists, ensuring their voices are heard.
OutLoud: A Night of Pride Arttitude's inclusive event, "OutLoud," is a beacon of empowerment and unity. By contributing to our cause, you help us create safe spaces where artists and performers can bravely share their experiences and stories. Join us in celebrating the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
Arttitude Scholarships Our scholarships aim to support LGBTQIA2+ and allied students pursuing their educational dreams. Your generous donations allow these creative minds to access the education they deserve and be recognized for their academic and artistic achievements on our website.
HIV/AIDS Documentary Our upcoming documentary explores the intersection of politics and HIV/AIDS funding. Your contribution will enable us to shed light on the profound impact of political decisions on individuals living with HIV/AIDS. By supporting this project, you're helping us advocate for better healthcare policies and services.
Your financial support can help Arttitude continue its mission of empowering LGBTQ+ and marginalized artists, fostering a more inclusive art world, and raising awareness about critical issues. Join us in making a positive change today.
