At The Little Yellow Building, we believe that talent and passion for art should never be limited by financial circumstances.

The Creative Angel Fund exists to ensure that every dedicated young artist has the opportunity to join our program, regardless of their financial situation.

This fund is a cornerstone of our commitment to accessible art education, providing month-to-month tuition assistance to families in financial need. Supported by the generosity of informal sponsors, community donations, T-shirt sales, and fundraisers. Every single contribution directly supports changing lives, one artistic journey at a time.

How The Creative

Angel Fund Works

The Creative Angel Fund ensures that tuition never stands in the way of a dedicated young artist's journey. We understand that financial circumstances can change, and our goal is to provide flexible and meaningful support.

The studio typically supports two full scholarships each month, though this number can vary depending on need and availability. In some months, no aid is needed, while in others, as many as five students may receive assistance. Aid is awarded and renewed monthly, allowing us to adapt to current circumstances and consistent participation.

Decisions are based on three key factors:

  • Current financial need: We provide support to families who need assistance.

  • Evidence of artistic growth: We look for a student's commitment to developing their skills.

  • Consistent class participation: Regular attendance and engagement are vital.

Families reapply periodically, and we review each student’s progress and commitment to ensure the level of support remains appropriate and that the fund is serving those most dedicated to their artistic journey. All applications and award decisions remain confidential; scholarship recipients are never identified in public materials.

Our Values & Promise

The Creative Angel Fund is built on trust – trust from the families who apply and from the people who give. We honor that trust in every decision we make, guided by these core values:

  • We believe tuition assistance should be earned through effort, artistic growth, and consistent participation, not through extensive financial paperwork. Students demonstrate their commitment, and we support their dedication.

  • Support continues as long as it is needed and available. We maintain regular communication with each family to ensure the assistance remains appropriate for the student’s progress and commitment to the program.

  • All applications and award decisions remain strictly confidential. Scholarship recipients are never identified in public materials, ensuring privacy and respect for every student and family.

Applying

Any interested family can apply for support through the Creative Angel Fund. We've designed a straightforward process to understand each student's commitment and creative goals, prioritizing merit and drive over extensive paperwork.

The application involves three key items:

  • A brief portfolio: This should showcase recent artwork, giving us a glimpse into the student's current skills and interests.

  • A short personal statement from the student: This helps us understand their creative aspirations and motivation for joining our program.

  • A conversation with us: This informal chat allows us to discuss the student’s creative goals and motivations more deeply, ensuring the program is a good fit for their artistic journey.

All applications and award decisions remain strictly confidential; scholarship recipients are never identified in public materials, ensuring privacy and respect for every student and family.
