Dear Members and Friends,
First, thank you. Thank you for standing with us, for contributing, for exhibiting your work, and for participating so generously in our programs. We are deeply grateful for your creativity, your time, and your trust. We hope that the Inspiration Art Group International has become an important part of your artistic life—a community where you feel welcomed, supported, and truly seen.
2025 has been a very successful year for us, with ten Address Earth exhibitions, weekly online workshops, culture trips, artist’s residency, online productions, artivism, arts essays, and much more.
As many of you know, we are a fully volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization. No one receives a salary. We give our labor, our passion, and countless hours because we believe in the transformative power of art and in the global community we have built together. But even with all this dedication, the financial reality remains: our membership fees do not cover the cost of operating our programs.
This year, our expenses have increased sharply. To keep our exhibitions, workshops, and creative opportunities alive, we urgently need your help. We are facing essential, unavoidable costs, including:
- Webmaster and technical support
- Social media outreach
- Exhibition production: posters; materials, installation and dismantling assistance
- Storage fees
- Insurance coverage
- Opening and closing reception. Food/beverage
- Gasoline and parking fees
- Mailing and shipping expenses
- Streaming services for online programs
- Website hosting and domain renewals
These are the fundamental building blocks that allow us to showcase your art, run exhibitions across borders, and keep our creative community connected.
We are asking for your support now because the situation is real and immediate. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution, so that we can maintain the full scope of what we offer—and continue expanding the opportunities our artists depend on.
If the Inspiration Art Group has enriched your artistic journey, if it has given you visibility, connection, or creative inspiration, please consider making a contribution today. Your donation—large or small—will directly determine what we can accomplish in 2026. (U.S. residents may claim a tax deduction for contributions to our 501(c)(3).)
Thank you again for your membership, your participation, and your belief in our mission. We cannot do this without you.
With gratitude and urgency,
Bibiana Huang Matheis
Curator, Inspiration Art Group International
