It’s our 20 YEAR anniversary folks, and we want to put out a project that really makes a difference. This year we offer our creativity, connection, and kindness by sending customized art journals to prisoners.
Artists and friends of (no name) Art Group come together for some good food, good drinks, and good will. We’ve been in touch with many prison charities (getting ready for our next project), and there is a great need for holiday cards for prisoners, especially within the LGBTQ community.
There are so many talented and interesting artists in our group, and I consider it an honor to know most of them personally. Their stories are fascinating, surprising, and always very inspiring. One of our artists has been telling his story as a Cambodian refugee through incredibly beautiful, powerful illustrations. I am so moved by these very personal stories of his life expressed with such sensitivity– exposing the vulnerabilities, love, and challenges of his childhood.
Our artist wishes to remain anonymous, but I am so grateful he has agreed to share some of his illustrations with us. A select handful have been chosen and featured below. They provide insight into life as a refugee and describe hardships most of us can not imagine.
The next (no name) Art Group project is here! Transform recycled coffee cups into artistic masterpieces! Paint it, crush it, glue it, suspend it – wherever your creativity takes you! All cups will be posted LIVE on our website as a digital exhibition for Earth Day 2018.
