ArtHome’s mission is to help artists build assets and equity through financial literacy, homeownership, self-sufficiency and the responsible use of credit.

By partnering with key community organizations and stakeholders, ArtHome is committed to strengthening the cultural vitality indigenous to our neighborhoods and growing the resources, not just of artists, but also of our peer community development organizations, our neighborhoods and our neighbors.

ArtHome looks to activate existing asset building programs and to create new resources to assist artists to create personal solvency through: homeownership, foreclosure prevention, business start-up, personal savings, access to credit and financial literacy.

ArtHome looks to build a unique support structure for American culture by:

* Increasing the financial literacy of individual artists

* Teaching responsible personal finance to individual artists

* Growing the tangible assets (home ownership, small business and savings) of individual artists

* Growing artist access to legitimate credit and loan resources

* Creating meaningful and sustainable partnerships with non-arts partners

We make tangible change in the lives of artists:

* We are committed to creating change that mutually benefits both artists and their communities

* We create long-term support for the broadest possible cultural constituency regardless of trends in aesthetics or content

* We build systems of support that provide quantifiable assistance, measurable returns and lasting benefits

* We provide information that is easy to understand, that can be communicated comfortably, individual to individual

* We value partnerships and have an active goal of seeking a broad range of non-arts partners

* We are committed to generosity and learning
