Start with the right path.

BackTheBrush is selective and conversation-led. Use the patron or artist path below to send a focused note; we will follow up when there is a clear fit to explore.

Patron Path

I want to support or commission original work.

Best for collectors, families, founders, venues, civic partners, and cultural supporters.

Artist Path

I am an artist seeking support for a project.

Best for artists with a specific commission, body of work, public project, or production need.

After You Send Interest

What happens next

  1. We review for fit. We look for aligned intent, credible scope, and a clear support path.
  2. We clarify the project. If there is fit, we ask follow-up questions about timing, budget, and expectations.
  3. We match or recommend next steps. Some projects move into patron matching; others receive guidance for later consideration.
