Grants, fundraising events, and gallery sales only cover a portion of the funds needed for daily operations at Starworks. Your support is a vital part of the creative process!

Your generosity:

• Helps fund resident artist and internship programs in Glass, Ceramic, & Metal, allowing artists from around the world to create incredible art at Starworks and interact with our local supporters!

• Funds classes for local highschool students and at risk youth from Eckerd Connects

• Gives young aspiring artists the ability to participate in an after school program that gives local students the opportunity to learn from working artists, and expand on team-building skills, critical thinking exercises and communication skills.

• Supplements community events like Artist Talks, & Exhibitions, keeping them open to the public for everyone.
