Make A One-Time Donation

Due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus, we have temporarily closed our studio and are adjusting to this new reality. You can help us recover from this challenging time by making a tax deductible donation to our COVID Recovery Fund. Your financial support during this uncertain time will ensure we will see you on the other side, when we can all make art together again! 

If you prefer to make your donation offline, make your check payable to Courageous heARTS and mail it to the studio: 2235 E. 38th St., Minneapolis, MN 55407.

Donate Materials, Furnishings or Equipment
Due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus, we have placed a hold on donations of material goods. We appreciate your support with monetary contributions that will allow us to pay our staff and cover general operating expenses during this uncertain time. You can find all our updates to operations and current needs on this page.

​heARTS has become a second home for many well-intentioned, but often neglected art supplies from people's closets. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we rarely need to purchase materials for the studio, freeing up valuable resources for our operational and program expenses. In addition, we also share our bounty with partners who don't have a budget for art supplies!

Supplies can be dropped off during Open Studio hours, or you can contact us to make alternative arrangements. Please note: We can provide a receipt of in-kind donations for taxes, however, are unable by law to provide a monetary value.
