F.U.E.L (Free Utensils for Expressive Living) is an art supply redistribution project at TRUCK Contemporary Art which aims to foster sustainable artistic practice, create access to art-making, and encourage resource sharing by redistributing donations of new and gently-used art materials to our communities through the F.U.E.L Supply. The store is located at the front entrance of TRUCK, and operates on a “take what you need, leave what you can basis”. This way, we are able to ensure all artists and creatively-inclined folks have access to supplies they need to create! With F.U.E.L, we acknowledge that being an artist can become incredibly expensive, and the struggle for many to afford necessary artistic materials is paramount. This has undoubtedly formed barriers to career opportunities, as so much of a grant or exhibition proposal may hinge on the artist's ability to show their past and current work. We also believe that all people deserve to express themselves through art without barriers, regardless of artistic background or income. In the first week that F.U.E.L was launched in March 2022, we redistributed nearly $1000 in donated art materials, signifying that this service is extremely necessary in our immediate artistic communities. To keep up with this high need, we are seeking donations of new and gently-used art supplies, as well as one-time and ongoing donations of gift cards or funds to continue keeping F.U.E.L stocked!  Your contribution will help artists access the art materials they need, and continue to live expressively through art-making! We are so grateful for your support of this program. Thank you!
