Together We Are Doing Extraordinary Things

On May 5, 2020, The Art Effect launched the
#CreateTheArtEffect
campaign to raise $10,000 to amplify the creative voices of young people as they respond to our new reality.
We continue to serve our community and support young people in creating artwork, films, and photographs that document, process, and inform their experience of the ever-changing Coronavirus crisis.
