Artists on the Brink (AOTB) aims to bring together visual and performing artists to collaborate on joint live productions to raise awareness about matters of consequence and raise funds for local, small-scale not-for-profit organizations that would benefit from targeted grants and publicity. AOTB commissions artists to contribute artworks and performances to its programmatic calendar and builds a network of artists and performers to contribute their creativity towards its educational and fundraising mission. The organization endeavors to ensure that its productions are thematically connected to the work of its partner not-for-profit organizations. AOTB educates the public about timely issues of importance and serves the public interest through presentations of the visual arts, performing arts, and corollary educational programming.
