What does it mean to make a gift to the Trust Art Fund?
By making a gift to the Trust Art Fund you will help bring to fruition the current chapters of all Trust Art Projects.
You will be given an equal amount of shares in each project, which may in turn be given to friends.
All shareholders are invited to participate in a project’s creative events, including sharing in the returns from the official auction of its artworks.
How do I make a gift?
Enter your contribution amount, your name (or click on the button to give the gift anonymously), and tell us whether you are already a Shareholder or new to Trust Art. Then Sign-in or Join (if you are new), and we’ll send you to an e-commerce page to complete your gift with a major credit card.
What is a ‘Shareholder’?
A shareholder is someone who makes a gift to a project and participates in a fun experiment that aligns them with the successful completion of the project. Once a project you've made a gift to is complete its related artworks are auctioned to private collectors and you share in the returns, which you're encouraged to pay forward or gift back, to keep things growing.
Will shares ever be worth anything?
The most important function of shares is to circulate a gift among a community, and therefore to act as engines of cohesion and trust. That said, shares represent units of financial participation (one share for every dollar you give) in the profits from the official sale of a project’s artworks. The returns from the sale of the artworks are shared 50/50 between the artists and the collective pool of its shareholders.
