Graffiti artists operate without a safety net—they’re the ultimate freelance hustlers of the art world. When life throws a wrench in the gears (a sudden injury, a housing snag, or just a rough patch), there's rarely an easy backup plan.

We call ourselves THESE ARE NOT TOYS because we treat the livelihood of our artists with the respect it deserves.

The Artist Relief Fund is our way of building a collective safety net, proving that our community truly looks out for its own.

Your Purchase, Their Protection

This fund is driven by you and fueled by our gear:

• Rep your Set (Merch): A portion of every THESE ARE NOT TOYS merchandise item you buy—from hats to hoodies—goes directly into the Relief Fund. This is the pool we use to offer rapid, critical support when an artist in our local community needs help with unexpected costs.

Buying our merch isn't a cash grab; it's a community pact. It means every piece of clothing you rock helps ensure a fellow artist can keep their focus on the wall, not the worry.
