Think of me when you start your Spring Cleaning!
Hey folks!
With the reappearance of the sun (thank you mother nature!!) and the weather starting to warm, I thought some of you crazy kids might be getting a jump start on your spring cleaning. I know my own studio resembles quite the disaster area and much can be tossed or donated.
I'd love to take some things off your hands! I'm currently accepting donations of.... paper (newsprint, thicker cardstock, or textured papers preferred)
paint (acrylic, tempera or tubes of watercolor)
scissors (child friendly, fiscars, etc)
glue (bottles, sticks, spray adhesive, etc)
brushes (all types, sizes)
pastels (chalk and oil types)
charcoal (all types)
smocks/aprons
If you have other art supplies you'd like to donate, I'll gladly take those as well! Please email me at ColumbusArtmobile@gmail.com to set up a time to meet! Thanks : )

Accepting Donations!
In response to the huge outpouring of support and requests for ways to donate to the project, I've teamed together with Kickstarter.com to keep the fundraising momentum going. You can read my project proposal and make a donation here-
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/862233924/columbus-artmobile
95% of donations will go towards the Columbus Artmobile, and 5% back to Kickstarter. As an added bonus, anyone donating $100 or more will be rewarded with a spotlight feature on the Artmobile website! You can promote yourself, your business, anything that's important to you.
Thanks for your support!

Gearing Up!
While plans for the Artmobile are still in motion, I wanted to take a minute to thank the arts community in Columbus for it's generosity and support in helping to make this idea a reality. Ten years ago, I took a leap of faith and moved from Baltimore, Maryland to Columbus, Ohio in hopes of becoming a better painter. I never would have had the courage to make the move had I not had art as a part of my life from an early age. I hope to be able to bring the same opportunities I had, to those kids who've been going without art in their classroom, and I can't wait to get started.
