We Are Funded!

January 23, 2017

We are ecstatic! We are 106% funded. We would like to thank everyone who has supported the ArtWorks crowdfunding campaign; we are constantly amazed by everyone's generosity. Thanks to your help, our artists will learn valuable new skills through their beautiful art. On the topic of beautiful art, Ted said, "I love to work together with our artists...I'm always amazed how different each painting looks. It is constantly amazing how we each see things in such a different way. Just amazing." Thank you to all our amazing donors! Although we are funded we have seven days left of our campaign; additional donations will help our artists continue their amazing artwork. Please continue to share our campaign.

Help Make A Difference

January 17, 2017

Hello everyone! We are at 77% mark in our campaign. Unfortunately, we didn't meet our 80% goal for last week but we are real close! We know together we can do it. We asked ArtWorks director Yumi Shirai how this campaign will help our artists; she responded, "Our artists get to go to their own art exhibit to introduce themselves as professional artists to the world (a larger community); and they will get to know other artists." Help us make a difference for our artists; help them be part of their own art reception this weekend. Thank you for all your donations so far. Here is the invitation for our opening art reception. Please share and maybe we will get to see you there!
