PART OF CHANGE

Art commissions for a cause

Mission

When just speaking out isn’t enough, be part of change. Oftentimes, making a mere post on social media about a political/social issue is not as effective as we hope. As a community of teenagers in Scarsdale, we hope to push past the boundaries of social media and take real steps that result in real actions. Part of Change incentivizes individuals to donate to causes supporting justice system reform and businesses affected by recent events. For every proof of donation, we will create any work of art of your choice.

How it works

Step 1

DM or email us a proof of donation to our list of eligible funds ($15+ for a small painting/sketch, $35+ for a larger oil painting)

Step 2

Send in an image or tell us what you'd like us to create

Step 3

Your piece of artwork will be delivered or shipped to your house
