Renewing the Renaissance is a small nonprofit-style initiative operating in the arts sector, focusing on supporting artists on the autistic spectrum. Based in San Jose, California, the organization seeks to connect artists with patrons to enable both the sale of artwork and meaningful relationships, while offering mentorship designed to help challenged adults develop and flourish creatively. Its activities include providing mentorship and continuing access to art supplies, with donations playing a role in sustaining artist support. Founded on a mission inspired by a personal connection to a daughter diagnosed with autism, the group describes its work as sustaining artists financially and spiritually through a model that emphasizes individual strengths. In addition to direct art support, the organization invites donations, highlighting tax-deductible contributions as a means to extend aid to more artists in the community.
