Stockton Rush Bartol Foundation

About Bartol
Bartol supports work at the Intersection of arts, education, healing, and social justice. Our objective is to facilitate equitable access to creative art-making practices that are profound, significant, and joyful. Bartol Foundation's grants and programs are specifically designed to support arts education programs created by and for communities historically under-resourced due to racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism, and other forms of oppression. We recognize and support these communities' abundance of arts and arts educators. It's important to note that we support programs for everyone, not just young individuals, provided they are actively engaged in the creative and artistic process.
We believe:
   » The arts possess intrinsic value, guiding us in knowledge, interpreting, and communicating the core aspects of our lives and community.
   » The arts engage, connect, and educate, supporting young people's growth into productive, creative adults.
   » The arts foster dialogue, respect, and knowledge, thereby building strong communities.
   » Artists play a central function in animating and educating our community about and through the arts.
   » Everyone has the right to engage in high-quality, significant, and accessible arts practices and practices.
