Art for Access
In 2022 we start with a wonderful project called Art for Access. There are so many requests and wishes out there for better access, it would take centuries to make that a reality. So, we figured to combine things:
we find artists to create access!
This is how it works: if you create art, that could be paintings, drawings or photography, we can connect you to a charity or community request of your choice.
Example: a charity or foundation in a beach city needs beach wheelchairs and access trax. A shopping mall needs proper accessible toilets. A community center needs facilities to welcome visitors with service dogs. You name it!
Instead of donating money, people can buy art instead.
A percentage of the revenue goes to the charity of choice and the artist. These prints below are an example. We can share up to 30 collections.
