SUSTAIN THE ARCHIVE. SUPPORT THE ARTISTS

The Artidex Foundation is officially recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your tax-deductible contribution directly supports our work to document artists, preserve their stories, expand their creative opportunities, and provide funding for the work they have yet to create. Together, we are building an archive and investing in the artists who make our world worth remembering.

Your contribution helps The Artidex continue documenting contemporary creative culture, preserve the physical collection, expand public access, and reinvest directly in participating artists.
