About AFT

Youth as artists, authors, planners and campaigners — not just participants.

Our Mission

Art that doesn't stop at the canvas.

AFT connects young people's creativity to real social participation. Members don't just submit artwork — they research issues, form teams, run events, publish books and turn art into products and donations.
