Your gift to VANSHON helps immigrant artists build stable, creative lives while creating sustainable spaces that serve the public through art, education, and cultural exchange.
VANSHON is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing Art Parks where newly authorized immigrant artists can live, work, and share their contributions with the broader community. Individual giving plays a vital role in helping us grow responsibly and remain accessible, inclusive, and mission-driven.
The first and most accessible way to support VANSHON is by contributing time and voice. Supporters help advance understanding of the VANSHON Seed—the recognition of the structural challenges immigrant artists face after migration—by sharing this idea within professional networks, community conversations, and public platforms, and by directing others to VANSHON’s work to engage more deeply with the concept.
VANSHON is building something long-lasting: Art Parks designed to support newly authorized immigrant artists at a pivotal moment in their lives. Your donation helps make it possible to:
Maintain professional studios, workshops, and creative facilities.
Support artist residencies and professional development.
Offer public programs, exhibitions, and educational events.
Advance sustainable design, clean energy, and land stewardship.
Build a strong, transparent, and responsible nonprofit organization.
Your contribution and generosity help create stability—not just for artists, but for the communities they enrich.
Donations at all levels contribute directly to VANSHON’s mission. Whether you share VANSHON seed or make a one-time gift, your support helps ensure that artists have the resources, space, and time needed to create and share their work. Understanding the structural challenge facing immigrant artists is the first step. Sharing this idea helps build the collective belief required for lasting solutions.
Ways to give may include:
Talk about it and share the SEED and VANSHON's mission within professional networks and public platforms
Gifts in honor or memory of someone
One-time or recurring donations
