Ozment Art Foundation

The Ozment Art Foundation exists to remove financial barriers so youth and community members can access creative, educational, and skill-building opportunities that strengthen confidence, connection, and personal growth.

In our community, there are incredible opportunities such as art workshops, hands-on learning experiences, skill-based programs, and creative spaces that can meaningfully impact a person’s direction in life. These experiences build confidence, encourage self-expression, and create a sense of belonging. However, for many individuals and families in our community, the cost of participation makes these opportunities out of reach.

Ozment Art Foundation was created to close that gap.

We provide direct financial support so individuals can participate in workshops, camps, and programs they otherwise could not afford. Rather than reimbursement-based systems that create additional barriers, we focus on simplicity and accessibility, making it possible to say yes in real time.

Our goal is not just access, but meaningful participation. We believe that creativity, skill-building, and community engagement are essential to personal development and long-term well-being. When people are given the opportunity to engage in these experiences, they gain more than a skill, they gain confidence, connection, and a sense of possibility.

Funding through Give a Hoot will allow us to expand this work by covering the cost of more programs and reaching more individuals who would benefit from these opportunities. Every dollar goes directly toward removing barriers and opening doors.

At its core, Ozment Art Foundation is about one simple idea:

Helping people say yes to opportunities that can change their lives.
