ArtStart GiveMn's Spring Forward Fundraiser

ArtStart cultivates curiosity, compassion, and connection through the arts

I have been with ArtStart 19 years and this past year has impressed me the most during the stressful times we have been in.  Our hard working Executive Director, Carol Sirrine, our ArtScraps crew Becky Olson and Brittany Reif Wenner and marketing consultant Amy Danielson along with the many artists we work with all pulled their weight and more while making sure we still stayed connected to our customers, camp families and community.

In more than three decades, we’ve seen thousands of children explore new ideas, learn about cultures different from their own, build confidence as they learn new skills and art forms, and connect with other kids and artists. This last year we’ve continued to build community among artists, children, and with adults —  through our dynamic art programs offered online and Creativity Kits through our ArtScraps Reuse Center. Through the power of art, we created connections and healing during a time when loneliness and stress have affected so many.
