Mission

In most schools, visual arts programs are meager or simply do not exist.  Private art classes and higher education programs are not affordable for most people. Art Prof provides a unique opportunity for a global community to  have equal access to a free visual arts education.

We are always pursuing funding, but YOUR donations help us grow the fastest!
