About

A charitable art organization that previously held (prior to COVID-19) two art shows per year featuring local artists. Using proceeds, we donate to local causes we care deeply about. We have now transformed to a completely digital platform to hold virtual art shows that provide artists a way to share and sell work while simultaneously benefiting a variety of charitable organizations.
