Giving Back…
Paws with Cause
Our core values include giving back to the community which is why we are excited to display painting kits for Paws with Cause. We believe these painting kits bring true value to the animals and to the creative artist within.
Purchase one of these kits for $20 and you get a canvas, paint, brush, and even a photo with information about the wonderful animal you are donating to. The kits in our office support Whatcom area animals but there are plenty of other animals to support that can be viewed on their website. These make wonderful gifts for both artists and animal lovers during the holiday season! Rooted in Art does not receive any payment for these kits, 100% of your payment goes directly to supporting the cause!
You can go to https://pawswithcause.org/ to learn more about this wonderful non-profit organization and view additional animals and painting kits. At this time, we are not carrying Paws With Cause packages, but we encourage you to check out their website and consider gifting this fantastic gift!
Do you have a non-profit that would like to showcase in our space or website? Please contact Carrie or Tyson at rootedinartbellingham@gmail.com.
ART FOR ALL
Carrie teaches classes and volunteers for a local nonprofit dedicated to helping folks with diabilities have access to art.
From their website:
“Art For All serves adults with disabilities by offering opportunities for artistic expression in visual, theatrical, and cultural arts. We foster well-being through our health and fitness education, and social outings. Our instructors have over 45 years of experience in working with adults with disabilities. We started Art For All in 2017 to promote artists and connect them to the greater art scene through exhibits and classes.
We became a nonprofit in 2022 and have since become well integrated into the Edmonds Arts Community. Our artists enjoy participating in the Art Walk and exhibiting at many venues and festivals, including Graphite art center. Our classes are geared to include everyone despite ability, and our team of volunteers ensure that everyone feels supported and valued.”
If you know somebody with a disability, you should totally get them involved with Art for All! If you don’t, you can still help out by donating or volunteering some time to help truly give access of Art to All!
Central painting: “Luna, luna y calabaza” by Carrie Wine - all surrounding canvases are of local animals in need.
