Julia Michaud 

For her Mitzvah project, Julia not only spent some time with us learning about our mission, she helped us pack an order of art packs for a shelter, donated works of art for two of our auctions, and had an art supply drive that lasted 6 months where she collected over 1,100 items! Her whole family supported the project and Julia coordinated several drop-off areas in her community. She has also made the commitment to donate art supplies every year on the anniversary of her Bat Mitzvah until she graduates high school. We are so grateful to Julia  for her dedication and ongoing commitment to helping us further our mission... she rocks!

Teagan Davenport


For Teagan's 7th birthday, she decided to ask all of the people celebrating her birthday to bring an art supply to her party. She collected 4 bags filled with art supplies and 45.00 in donations!  More importantly, she showed so many people that even a just- turning seven year old can change a lot of lives!
