Artistic Freedom Initiative assists a growing network of talented, engaged, dynamic artists from all over the world. Our artists practice across 38 creative disciplines, including visual art, writing, music, filmmaking, graphic design, performance art, theater, and photography. Since inception, we have taken on over 1,000 artist cases, supporting at-risk artists from over 60 countries worldwide.   

This page is dedicated to showcasing the stories and work of some of the exceptional artists we support. Like our network of artists, this page is growing. Check back as we feature more artists from our AFI community. You can also learn about more of our artists here.
