Our Mission
ABF has been supporting artists for over 200 years. Our vision is to provide wide-ranging support for artists in need to overcome a range of economic, social, cultural and mental health challenges which act as barriers to their ability to establish sustainable careers as artists.
We believe that difference and/or disadvantage of any form should never act as a barrier to creative expression. Today, we enable contemporary emerging artists to launch, develop and sustain a professional career working in partnership with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Learn More
