MODERN ARTIST PATRONAGE

Your support helps sustain KESIENA’s artistic practice and allows for further artistic community engagement planning, research, and enabling more opportunities to continue making art.

Artist patronage and patrons of the arts have always been used to uplift and support artists throughout history.

Re-imagining modern patronage as an equalizer

Supporting artist work is essential in times of the climate crisis to help amplify solutions and envision a new future. Around here we believe art patronage is a tool of mutual aid not charity. It can bring more equity and bring about more accessibility.

As an artist who’s also an educator, KESIENA aims to offer community driven workshops that are accessible and often free to encourage community building around ecology and environmentally uplifting ways.

This donation can be added with a purchase or the donation alone.
