Who We Are
We are a group of passionate high school students with a common interest in art. We gather regularly at our school's Art Club and Art Salon Club. Our latest initiative is to make art and make a difference. We have put up some of our artwork for auction on our website. We invite you to explore the work of young, talented artists.
By donating your artwork, you are supporting us in using art as a medium to inspire action. This will help us achieve our goals of making the world a better place, especially for disabled people who have faced numerous difficulties in their lives. Donating your artwork shows that you care, feel their pain, and want to help. We are grateful to everyone who helps make the arts accessible and sustainable.
