    American art preserves the nation's history, reflects the diverse cultures and experiences of its people, encourages creativity and innovation, helps shape and express American identity, and inspires awareness and change by addressing important social issues.

    thanks for attending the preview event

    It was a very special evening at the Southampton Cultural Center. Hosted by Long Island's accomplished and multi-talented Mark MK, our exclusive pre-show, The Makers & The Muses, featured presentations by emerging artists, musicians and a preview of the fashion designers and brands that will be showcased at our upcoming annual fundraising fashion festival, The Tents 2026.  In partnership with theSIPnyc, and with the support of Kool King Coconut Water and contributor Ingenious Gin,  the stage was set for an unforgettable evening—celebrating creativity, community, and the visionaries who inspire them with tasty libations and hors d'oeuvres. Thank you to all that attended and supported our mission.

    Expand Representation and Visibility

    DISABILITY PRIDE IS EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

    Approximately one in four adults in the United States lives with some form of disability. Fashion and the arts industries are most authentic and meaningful when they reflect the diverse communities they serve. Greater disability representation helps ensure that everyone can see themselves reflected in culture and creative expression. Awareness helps break outdated assumptions that disability limits creativity, beauty, or professional success. When people with disabilities are visible as designers, models, photographers, actors, dancers, musicians, and visual artists, it challenges misconceptions and promotes a more inclusive understanding of talent and achievement. It is about more than accessibility—it is about equity, creativity, representation, and belonging. When the fashion and arts worlds embrace disability inclusion, they become more innovative, more authentic, and more reflective of the full spectrum of human experience. Support Disabled Creatives!

    Intimate interviews

    THE RELAUNCH WAS TRIUMPHANT!

    We are so grateful. Your presence helped make this gathering a truly meaningful and memorable experience.  

    A special THANK YOU to Olivia Taylor & Keyera Newsome, the interview was well constructed and insightful.  

    To our performers: The Red Zone, Abdoulaye Toure & Company, Assemblywoman Nikki Lucas, and Onida Mayers, whose voices and talents brought depth and inspiration to the experience, your willingness to share and engage made the evening unforgettable.   

    To our guests, your energy, presence, and participation are what make events like this thrive. We hope you left feeling inspired, connected, and uplifted. 

    We look forward to welcoming you again next year. 

    With appreciation,

    FATA Fund, Inc.

    We See Further

    This Year is our Runway, Let’s Own it!

    This year, we are reaffirming our commitment to the transformative power of fashion and the arts—not merely as aesthetic expressions, but as cultural, ethical, and intellectual forces.

    In a world increasingly shaped by innovation and introspection, our disciplines stand at the intersection of tradition and progress. Fashion continues to evolve as a language of identity and sustainability, while the arts remain a mirror to society’s deepest questions and aspirations.

    This year, we invite our community to engage more deeply—with materials, with meaning, and with each other. Let us champion creativity that is conscious, design that is deliberate, and dialogue that is inclusive.

    May 2026 be a year of bold ideas, thoughtful craftsmanship, and enduring impact.  Join us by submitting your work or volunteering. We want to collaborate with you. May the year 2026 bring fresh ideas, refined craft, and fearless fashion. 

    OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT

    At FATA Fund Inc., our commitment extends far beyond showcasing fashion, art, and creative talent. We believe in using our platform to uplift underserved communities, provide opportunities, and bring hope to those facing difficult circumstances.

    Modeling for Personal and Professional Development

    Our modeling classes are about much more than the runway. Our program helps participants build confidence, improve communication skills, develop professionalism, and strengthen leadership abilities. Through coaching in presentation, etiquette, teamwork, and personal branding, students gain valuable life skills that prepare them for success in school, careers, and their communities. While some may pursue modeling professionally, every participant leaves with greater self-esteem, discipline, and the confidence to pursue their goals. We don't just teach people how to walk the runway—we teach them how to walk confidently through life.

    Acting Workshops: Building Confidence, Communication & Leadership

    Our acting workshops are designed to develop the whole person—not just future actors. Through creative expression, storytelling, and performance training, participants gain confidence, strengthen communication skills, improve public speaking abilities, and learn valuable leadership and teamwork skills.

    Our workshops provide a supportive environment where youth and adults can explore their creativity, develop emotional intelligence, enhance self-expression, and build the confidence needed to succeed in school, the workplace, and everyday life.

    We don't simply train performers—we help individuals discover their voice, build character, and develop the skills to thrive both on and off the stage.

    These experiences help build confidence, develop professional skills, and inspire future leaders to make a positive impact in their communities.

    Serving Women with Dignity and Compassion

    During Thanksgiving and Easter, we prepare and serve home-cooked holiday meals for women residing in domestic violence shelters. These meals are presented in a beautifully decorated, formal setting, creating a warm and welcoming experience that helps participants feel valued, celebrated, and connected during the holiday season. We have generously had the support of Assemblyman Clyde Vanel in our continued efforts.

    Creating Safe and Joyful Experiences for Children

    We host safe Halloween celebrations for children living in high-crime neighborhoods, providing a fun, secure environment where families can enjoy the holiday without fear and children can simply be children.

    Bringing Holiday Magic Through Our Toy Drive

    Each year, our Christmas Toy Drive delivers gifts to children and families in need. For many of these children, the toys they receive through our event are the only gifts they will receive during the holiday season.
