The Idea

We encourage art entrepreneurs in the Bay Area to host art workshops to share their creative talents. Our idea is to host a paper & bookmaking workshop for children and fees raised would go towards supporting persons living with disabilities in developing countries. Help us pilot our first workshop!

The Specifics

The funds received will go towards purchasing all materials for the paper and bookmaking workshop. Our host will show children how to use handmade paper & recycled covers to create books. Making books with children promotes reading, encourages recycling, & inspires creative self-expression. The fees raised from this workshop will be sent to vocational training centers in a developing country so that persons living with disabilities can purchase raw materials to develop art products to sell for their own livelihood. These individuals do not have access to employment & developing art projects is their only form of work. Not only does our idea promote art here in our local community, but also helps those in developing countries!
