Donate to VANS’ greatest need
General donations give us the most flexibility Donating to our area of greatest need contributes to the sustainability and flexibility of the organization to best serve our programs and the needs of artists as they arise or change.

Membership or Workshop Bursary
By contributing to the membership or workshop bursary fund, you can help give a free VANS membership or a free VANS workshop to an artist facing financial barriers that prevent them from accessing these. Your contribution will support additional membership bursaries and workshop bursaries for artists in need.

VANS Artist Emergency Fund
The VANS Artist Emergency Fund  (AEF) has been created in response to concern that artists generally do not have access to safety nets such EI, health insurance or even insurance to cover studio loss in case of an emergency such as fire or flood.

PAINTS Donation
Support professional visual artists in Nova Scotia classrooms.
