Artist's Fund.
At Portraits de Famille, we believe in fostering opportunities for our community of emerging artists. This is why we've established the Artist's Fund, a testament to our commitment of supporting emerging artists to reach their goals. By empowering them with this fund, we're contributing to their success by helping them reach their personal milestones, whether that means studio time, materials, production, exhibition, mentorship, or professional development.
Each year, we open an application and nomination call to our community. We invite emerging artists to apply to the Artist's Fund by submitting a clear project goal. After creating a shortlist from all applications, we invite our famille to vote to select the deserving winner of the grant. Once the grant is awarded, Portraits de Famille accompanies the winner along their journey by documenting progress and sharing updates with our community.
By purchasing from Portraits de Famille, you are not only wearing collectible pieces of art, but also supporting a movement that champions the growth and development of emerging artists. Together, we can make an impact that matters.
Artist's Fund FAQ.
Why does Portraits de Famille have a social cause?
Portraits de Famille exists to bridge fashion and art and to empower and preserve artists’ personal narratives. A social cause is the natural extension of that mission: it turns every wearable piece of collectible are into tangible support for emerging artists, ensuring our success directly fuels theirs.
Through the Artist’s Fund, we provide funding, mentorship, and visibility with transparent impact, because our brand is built on elevating artists and creating real, measurable cultural value alongside beautiful, wearable art.
Why is the winner voted by our community?
Portraits de Famille is built on transparency and shared creative vision. Inviting our famille to vote turns collectors into patrons, ensuring the grant supports a project that genuinely resonates with the people who wear our garments.
Community voting brings fairness and accountability to the process, complements our shortlist with real audience insight, and gives the selected artist immediate visibility and advocacy.
How does Portraits de Famille collect funds?
Portraits de Famille funds the Artist’s Fund directly from sales. A dedicated share of revenue from every piece—across both the Shop and the Collector’s Club—is ring‑fenced and allocated to the fund.
We maintain transparent accounting and share impact updates so you can see how your purchase becomes a grant that helps an emerging artist reach their next milestone.
