Life as an artist isn't easy. We're comfortable with our talent and abilities as artists. We enjoy creating, communicating, and socializing through our art. But we all struggle with the everyday business challenges that are also a part of our world. One of the biggest of those challenges is learning how to market ourselves.

Art For Progress (AFP) is here to help! AFP was created in 2004 by a broad-based group of artists who came to realize by coming together we could leverage our collective relationships while supporting each other through sharing our knowledge and experience. The AFP community is for serious artists who are ready to take a step forward and become part of a dynamic arts community. We offer artists opportunities for exposure through our events and well trafficked web-site, financial support through our grant program,  and valuable resources to enable you to set and reach your goals – whatever those goals may be.

In the time since our inception we have experienced many success stories (Please see our press section for some of the details). Art For Progress is making a difference for artists not only by introducing their work, but also by conveying to the public the things that artists stand for and are passionate about. Things like inspiration, hope, and the realization of a dream.
