A Message From Our Founders


Artistic Fuel’s role in elevating social justice
Our team at Artistic Fuel has talked about what our role is in elevating social justice. This isn’t a new or opportunistic conversation for us. In fact, this question of how best to amplify creativity that the art world has deemed unworthy for white-walled galleries is one reason our founders started Artistic Fuel.
The answer we keep coming back to is that we need to provide a stage for artists who know injustice all too well. Artistic Fuel is a place for them to be heard, to be seen — and just to be.
Art is the ultimate form of free speech. It’s the purest and most tangible manifestation of core human emotions: anger, fear, sadness, hope, kindness, empathy, love. Through that lens, Artistic Fuel aims to shine a spotlight on art and the artists that create it.
With love and support,
Jack O’Donnell and Sean O’Donnell
Co-Founders of Artistic Fuel
