Who We Are

The GRAFFITI Foundation is a grass roots social enterprise that has been established to promote artists, the local community, and social awareness. Our mission is to help local artists find an outlet for their creativity, energy and voice; as well as help them create a future from their passion and make a difference in their community. Our organization’s focus is to create a self sustaining Social Enterprise that brings a new social awareness to the local community to help improve the city’s image, character, and pride, by establishing a responsible art collective that shares its resources and promotes the local economy to gain a solid foothold in the San Antonio Art industry, to make a real difference in San Antonio and its surrounding areas.

G.R.A.F.F.I.T.I. Foundation at a glance

•  
• -- We have started the G.R.A.F.F.I.T.I Foundation, as an organization that brings in artists of any medium and gives them an outlet to create work and create products with their images for sale. We want to promote the artists and assist them in business mentoring, art mentoring, and reach out to those that may not have the opportunity for a college education. We want to be able to show artists how to create a business and a living, doing what they love; in addition, to raise funds for those who have an interest in pursuing an academic career. Moreover, we want to create a sense of community, social awareness and responsibility.
•  
• -- Our organization will basically be a promotional tool for the artists and give them a platform to showcase their works in various locations, i.e. UTSA Artspace, the Gallery Bound project, and other local art venues. We will use the artist's images to create our products; art prints, t-shirts, calendars, etc, but all original art still belongs to the artists and will be a focal point of an art show for sale to the artists. After the business has reached its rate of return on those products, the artist will receive a percentage of that profit for as long as that product is carried. We will also help them create their online shops as an offshoot of the project for their own profit.
•  
• -- We will provide all of these services free of charge, all we want from the artists is a donation of their time to community service, specifically working with the Graffiti Wipeout project, and if they continue to be a supporter of the G.R.A.F.F.I.T.I. Foundation, then some exclusives for the Foundation to create new products.
