Inspiring article from NPR about "Why Surrounding Yourself With Art Matters" - let's support our fellow artists! 🎨🌱 www.npr.org/2021/06/22/1...

It's getting prepped for our catalog for #postcardartexhibit26! Together, we support Blijft-je-Bij, an art program at Museum Beelden aan Zee designed for those affected by Alzheimer's. Thanks, John Douglas ( on BSKY @johndouglasart ) #postcardartexhibit #artistssupportingalzheimers #artforacause

I'm so glad to see that together we can help one of our art challenge hosts. These are difficult times for all of us, and this could happen to anyone. 🫂 Grateful for the friendships I have found here on Bluesky. 🦋💙

Hey folks! One of our amazing art challenge hosts is facing a financial crisis and I've organized a GoFundMe for them. If you could even donate $5 or $10, it would really help out. Thank you!

I don’t usually share these things but a friend of mine is in dire straits and could use a hand this holiday season. They on the verge of losing everything so let’s hell keep them afloat. Even if you only have $5 to spare, every little bit helps. TIA and Happy Holidays. gofund.me/035e652e8
