SUMMER IMPACT: 18 programs across 10 magical weeks! Thanks to your support, we granted over $25,000 in unfunded scholarships to local youth. 80 scholarships granted by AMO in the last 2.5 months alone. Now, as we clean, reorganize, and prep for fall, we have some game-changing news to share with all of you.

Announcing Outpost Gives Back (501c3 Tax-Deductible Supported) Due to the overwhelming amount of community work, free events, and scholarships we provide, we are launching our long-overdue foundation: Outpost Gives Back, held under our fiscal sponsors and beloved community partners at Hive Center for Book and Paper Arts.

Help us continue to support making art accessible in our community!

Within the next two weeks, all financial contributions and donations of art supplies, support for student scholarships, and community outreach will be fully tax-deductible!
