STAY ALIVE / MAKE ART
The mission of the Amos Lemon Burkhart Foundation is to sustain and promote the legacy of the artist Amos Lemon Burkhart
and inspire teens to stay alive and make art.
Our immersive turnkey exhibits and workshops open the door to conversations about mental health, substance abuse, and gender identity. We partner with museums, community centers, schools, and organizations to bring our message to 13-to-19-year-olds. We believe that creativity is a tool for reflection and change and that Amos’s art and story are uniquely powerful emotional touchpoints for kids.
