ArtLifting

ArtLifting is a Boston-based social enterprise founded in 2013 by Liz and Spencer Powers.

The organization connects socially conscious companies and customers with artists impacted by disabilities and housing insecurity. ArtLifting aims to advance access to the art market and create economic resilience for these artists, operating under a “business for good” model. ArtLifting offers an online marketplace where artists can sell original paintings, prints, and licensed merchandise, including tote bags and clothing. The organization also provides scalable art curation and consultancy services for corporate and individual clients, helping to create meaningful spaces. Artists earn 55% of profits from each sale, with additional revenue supporting art supplies for community groups. ArtLifting serves over 500 corporate clients, individual buyers across 46 U.S. states, and interior designers, showcasing artwork in inclusive environments. The organization has generated significant income for artists, helping them secure housing and rebuild their self-worth.
