Let's Make Art Matter

A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE

Hello friends,

We want to start off by saying we think you are amazing, brave, and wonderful people who are chasing their creativity and willing to try something new. And we love you for that.

Let’s Make Art Matter is for when life is hard. Especially those deeply painful events outside of our control—from cancer to suicide to miscarriages to divorce. Every time something horrible happens we want to say something, anything, that could comfort them, but who knows what to say in those situations? So instead of speaking words, we create. Just so they know we are thinking about them, just so they know they are loved.

So every month we paint a little postcard. A postcard for someone who needs extra love or thought. But we need your help. Think of someone who might need this. It can be anybody, a sweet neighbor who is lonely, someone who is sick, struggling, or sad. Send us their information and we can see if we can brighten their day, even just for a little bit. Because we are all in this together.

Art can be so much more than fun illustrations. Art can bring people together, spread love, and help heal.

How to Participate
