Where Do Your Funds Go?
Low Cost Art Residencies
Azule works to provide opportunities for development to underserved art communities. Your donations allow us to lower the bar of entry into Art Residency programs for low-income and marginalized Artists.
Updating & Building New Facilities
Through generous community donations, we are able to expand our studio spaces and facilities. This will allow us to offer more community engagement and attract a wider variety of Art forms.
Grant Matching
These grants allow Azule to expand our community programming and offer more support for underrepresented Artists. By matching grants, you expand our ability to serve artists in our community.
Your Donations Have…
- Allowed Artists to serve their work-trade enriching the lives of Adults with Disabilities in Madison County.

- Created partnerships, support & facilities for organizations that support greater diversity in the Arts.
About Your Donations
Your donations go directly back into the community through the promotion of the Arts. Not only does your generosity allow Artists the opportunity for growth, but it facilitates the free exchange of culture, understanding, and learning. Our community grows with each new experience or exposure to new Art Forms, and the Appalachian spirit and way of life are perpetuated through the exposure of Artists to audiences they may never have had access to. In true Appalachian spirit, every dollar Azule receives is stretched for maximum impact.
