About DON'T TELL ME HOW TO ART
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to make art accessible, personal and alive—one artist and one story at a time.
Don’t Tell Me How to Art gives artists the opportunity to tell their own stories in their own voices. It connects audiences with the people behind the work while celebrating the communities where creativity thrives.
This is not a series that tells people what art should be.
It is a celebration of what art already is.
