Foundation Dispatch | Issue 01

Art belongs to everyone. We help young people find their voice through creativity.

The Autumn De Forest Foundation champions artistic access, creative confidence, and community-centered learning. Through school partnerships, artist engagement, and direct support for emerging creators, we open doors for young people to make, explore, and grow.

Our Mission

Creative expression should be reachable, not rare.

We believe the arts are not a luxury. They are a foundation for confidence, expression, and belonging. Our mission is to help young people discover that their creative voice matters and to give them meaningful ways to develop it.

“It's not how good you are, but how much you love doing it.”
