Connecting Artists to the Community with Education, Therapy and Fun
Do you need a hand? WE sure do...
Contrary to the popular joke (hehehe), we are not independantly wealthy. We do love a donation and free materials if you have a lead.
Here's some ideas of art supplies or other items our artists need.
Your generosity is appreciated, so thank you for just taking a peek!
(resources are at the bottom)
If you have an interesting product or idea, please email me, Linda, at LindaHill@art-with-heart.org or call me at 228.475.7561 or 228.249.0664 before you throw it out. We might be able to use it!
Hardware store scraps of old paint, canvas, pexiglass, vinyl, the possibilities are endless.
Artists, do you have old paint colors you hate? We might love them! Send them our way...
