Protect Art. Protect Democracy.
As censorship rises and artists are targeted for speaking truth to power, protecting creative voices has never been more urgent.
Since 2017, AFI has supported over 2000 courageous artists who create even when it places them at risk. Each year, we have expanded our direct services and advocacy work to secure at-risk artists’ safety and stability, and provide them with the resources they need to continue on the front lines of creative resistance.
In the face of domestic and global challenges to free expression and movement, AFI remains steadfast in our commitment to empowering artists at risk. Join us by making a contribution—together, we can champion at-risk artists and safeguard the creative expression and cultural freedoms that shape our world. Become a defender of artistic freedom today.
