Make Your Bid to Support projectart!
This fundraiser will be supporting projectart, a nonprofit based out of Brooklyn, NY. With a goal of "creating opportunity through art," this nonprofit aligns with two of BDO's Social Impact cause areas - Children & Youth and Education & Literacy. Projectart hosts programs in five cities with BDO offices: Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami, New York and Pittsburgh. They also serve Newark.
BDO artists and artisans created for a cause; now you can shop with purpose. Proceeds benefit projectart. Projectart serves children who don't have access to arts education at school by partnering with public libraries to provide free, high-quality art classes led by resident teaching artists who empower kids with the possibilities and potential of creative expression.
Art is a window to the wider world. Learning about art helps children think critically and interpret the world in unique and personal ways. It helps them express themselves. Engaging with art builds technical, problem-solving and decision-making skills. It fosters confidence, creativity, self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
This year there are three very special art pieces donated by young artists who are part of the projectart community. Take a look and bid on these one-of-a-kind framed masterpieces below.
