BetterYou asked this question on the artcone forums: Is there a good organization that needs art for free? I have over 100 acrylic artworks and I would like to donate them. Museums are very competitive but I need one that ’always’ needs art.
How about hospitals, nursing homes, women’s shelters. There are many organizations that provide services that would be worthy of art donations. Or donate them to be sold by an organization to raise money for a benefit. Donate them to an organization that would not normally have the funds to buy art. Museums are very selective in what they will buy, and they are usually funded pretty well.
I think it would be wonderful if you donated your artwork to a place that could really benefit from it. Children’s hospital, an auction to raise money for a good cause, nursing home, veteran’s hospital, etc… What a great legacy to leave all of your hours of work to!

It does not work like that.
Free stuff is frowned upon.
