When things go wrong, your best recovery effort is required.
But don’t just provide the missing piece,
also provide uniquely personal assistance.
An AIC (Adult in Custody) artist carefully chooses what to include and exclude in their creations. It results in something beautiful that somehow makes sense amongst the chaos of the endless influencing factors around them any time. It takes courageous patience and an unrelenting drive to come up with innovative ideas and refining them until they work.
BUT WHAT WAS MISSING?
Every human has a unique perspective of the world. When purpose connects with inmate art, voices on both sides of the world (Uganda) get much louder. Creativity blossoms when your purpose supports it. Bringing the spirit of fun, excitement, and child-like wonder is extremely valuable to being creative. The more you live a life that inspires you, the more access you have to your creativity.
BUT WHAT WAS MISSING?
“Art is a collaboration between God and the artist,
and the less the artist does the better.”
Andre Gide
BUT WHAT WAS MISSING?
“I found I could say things with color and shapes
that I couldn’t say any other way.
Things I had no words for.”
Georgia O’Keeffe
BUT WHAT WAS MISSING?
Each prison art group is given an annual budget for art supplies. Our promise is to provide quality supplies so the pieces you see above can be appreciated and come alive for you. Unfortunately, the funds needed in 2023 came up short. We must be sure we can keep our promise!
The art supply budget for 2024 is $3000. Would you be willing help with that? Keep in mind that 100% of the sale of original art goes directly to Otino Waa Children’s Village, Uganda. Helping the artists also helps those students. The art hangs somewhere to be appreciated and presents the opportunity to tell the whole story one more time. Is that a WIN, WIN & WIN?
Go HERE to bless so many before 2023 slips away!
Never walk away from someone who deserves help;
your hand is God’s hand for that person.
Proverbs 3:27
