** Celebrating Creativity with Kainos at Our Community Art Show!
------------------------------------------------------------
We're thrilled to highlight our partnership with Kainos ([link removed]) , an inspiring organization that supports adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. We are thrilled that Kainos adults have embraced art, expressing their creativity and skills impressively.
The artwork displayed at our Community Art Show by Kainos clients, like the detailed paper collage turtle made by Mikey—is a testament to their hard work and the adaptability of our program. Liz Zirbes, Kainos Director of Day and Employment Services, and Bridget Chamberlain, Community Engagement Coordinator, have been instrumental in integrating our curriculum to enhance the lives of their clients.
This partnership is an example of how our programs can be enriching for adults, and that creativity knows no bounds!
** Help Paint a Brighter Future
------------------------------------------------------------
Today we kick off a fundraiser to support the Art in Action Scholarship Program which directly funds art education for under-resourced schools.
Creating art fosters creativity, resilience, and a lower dropout rate among students in low socioeconomic areas. Art is a right for children, not a privilege.
Donate to the Art in Action Scholarship Fund! By purchasing an exclusive package, from local wine tastings to spa days, you are helping us expand art programs to reach the over 4 million
K-8 students who currently lack proper art resources. Your support helps paint a brighter future!

** Remembering the Legendary Faith Ringgold
------------------------------------------------------------
We mourn the loss of Faith Ringgold, who passed away on April 13, 2024, at age 93. Renowned for her vibrant story quilts depicting African American life, Faith's art has left an indelible mark on history and culture. Her works, like the celebrated "Who’s Afraid of Aunt Jemima," and her children’s book "Tar Beach," have empowered and inspired generations.
Faith's influence extended into our community, notably as the keynote speaker at our Soiree 2014, where she shared her vision and passion. As we reflect on her tremendous contributions, we continue to draw inspiration from her belief in the transformative power of art.
Faith Ringgold's legacy will forever inspire us to explore and push boundaries in art and storytelling.
