So thankful to YOU!

Thank you to all of our donors who contributed to FOTM’s very successful year-end matching campaign! Through the generosity of the Jessica & Stanley Prescott Trust and Jordan Laby, contributions before December 31, 2019, were matched one to one.

Your donations support the programs that are at the heart of the FOTM’s mission…

to document and archive extraordinary artists and their work through photographic portraits, audio and video interviews and biographical research that encompass each artist’s experiences, artistic reflections and development; and to present this work to a broad public through extensive education outreach to all ages – including at-risk youth through our Learning to See Youth Outreach program, Art & The Creative Spirit Enrichment Program for Seniors, a public monthly Artist Spotlight Series, exhibitions, publications, website and an extensive resource library.
