Grace & Agency

Who: Who are Friends of Artisans Beyond Borders? They are all-volunteer advocates for life-affirming creativity. They are keen to extend compassion, friendship, and respect across borders. They are wowed by beauty and grace and committed to social justice. They believe in healthy families and feminist sensibilities. And they bring their own passion and experience to the table to support the artisan's efforts in whatever way they can.   

Where: In Tucson,  you can find Artisan's Beyond Borders original Heritage Arts at the United Nations Association of Southern Arizona Center  If you are interested in purchasing one of the Artisan's offerings, you can call and ask for Ruth or Jen and they can show you on the spot the one-of-a-kind offerings currently in the shop.

How: Artisans Beyond Borders is a non-profit Border Arts Ministry. We count on your donations to pay the artisans for their work upon completion and also to the Artisans Materials Fund so they may purchase their own embroidery materials and supplies in Nogales, Mexico. We want makers to have agency and as many choices as possible. 

All monetary donations go directly to the artisans and to fund the program. Donations can be received through pay pal on this website or by check mailed to Tucson's "Grace St. Paul's Episcopal" (address below) with "Artisans Beyond Borders" on the message line.
