Art21 aspires to a more creative and tolerant world by providing unparalleled access to the works and words of contemporary artists. Of course, this is not achievable without support from the people who engage with us the most--you!
As the end of the year approaches, I hope you will consider making a donation to Art21, or join us today on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving! Not only will your contribution help us keep the cameras rolling, but you will allow us to continue to inspire audiences to see the world in new ways, through the eyes of artists.

From the series, Art21 Exclusive
Artist Pedro Reyes and fashion designer Carla Fernández share how they met and discuss their marriage, as well as their mutual love of Mexican craft and design. Though Fernández designs high-end fashion and Reyes is known for his metal and stone sculptures, they both collaborate with artisans to produce their work.
"When I started making clothing, I had two choices," says Fernández. "One was to copy the things that the [indigenous] communities make, ...or work together with the communities."
