About us
The Art Fart Foundation (est. 2026) is a community-centered organization based in Boston, MA, creating art-led experiences and systems of aid for the public, while supporting local artists and businesses in the process.
Our goal is to bring people together—across disciplines, identities, and neighborhoods.
From experimental performances and installations to workshops led by local artists, from community dinner house shows to whimsical crafting gatherings, we believe art should be accessible and communal.
We are currently working to become a 501(c)(3) organization.

Matt Issa-Abbas (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Boston, MA.
As a queer, multiracial individual, they have long held a passion for building community with intersectionality in mind. Seeing a need for greater connection among creatives of all backgrounds within the city, as well as opportunities for local artists and businesses, she built the Art Fart Foundation to fill the gap.
In a time when it is increasingly uncommon to know your neighbors, her mission is to create a sustainable ecosystem of artists and art-enthusiasts alike on the pillars of human connection and creative liberation.
