About Organic Arts and Fair Trade Arts
Fair Trade Arts is a concept based on fair pay for honest work and skills.
All of the Organic Arts Artists are fulltime professionals with over 20 years experience each performing fulltime for kids, elders, festivals, and community events.
Our “day job” is serving our audiences! We make our living by serving the community through the arts.
Fair Trade Arts means the artist’s work has a true value to the community, but in these times many organizations cannot afford the true value of a program. Of course the long term impact on community growth and learning can never be calculated in monetary terms, but at least the artist is compensated fairly for the effort.
So, when the artist quotes the Fair Trade Arts value of the show,
the question becomes: “What can you honestly afford?”
If you can afford the Fair Trade value,
we deeply appreciate that you are paying artists at a fair rate!
If not, Organic Arts asks that your organization acknowledges the difference between the true value and actual cost, so that we can use this information to apply for grants and sponsors to make up the difference in the artist’s income.
Organic Arts offers affordable concerts and events featuring combinations of its artists for fundraising events for schools, libraries, and community organizations.
For schools and libraries and children’s organizations a trio of a musician, storyteller, and scientist team up for a “Family Tree” event.
For adult organizations “Dangerous Folk” presents a live concert of the folk music Public Television has used so successfully to inspire donors.
Your organization can sell tickets, solicit donations, and unify the focus of your community to raise your operating funds.
