What is an Artist Group?
Artist Groups are defined as a group of 2 or more AUArts students who intend to sell artwork together to fundraise for a campus-based club, community event, gallery, or for a registered non-profit or charity. GoFundMe and other crowdsourcing is not eligible at this time. Artist Groups do not have professional development requirements but must contribute at least 4 volunteer shifts during the program.
