Our Story
My mother loves Paul Newman. In addition to his iconic big screen appearances, he was a hero in real life, raising money through his devotion to charitable causes. Following in his large footsteps, we founded Art for Charity. We’re based on the idea that art connects people, which is ultimately what we are trying to do: create a more connected, symbiotic world.
How does it work?
1) Artists donate to Art for Charity the right to create canvas prints from the artists’ original artworks.
2) You buy a canvas print and select which charity you want to benefit.
3) Art for Charity donates profits to the charity you chose.
So dig in, enjoy, spread the word and help the world! Buy something that makes you smile or buy a gift that shares a smile.
