The Art-for-Charity program is an artist-supported initiative of the For-Charity Foundation, featuring original ACEO (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) artwork generously donated by talented artists from our community and beyond.
When you make a purchase, the vending machine randomly dispenses a card from your selected category, creating a fun surprise with every transaction. Watch for special bonus opportunities, including "2-for-1" cards for kids with stickers and original art.
CARDS are randomly distributed within that category, but any collector searching for a specific artist or card, contact MaryKay Harvey at marykay@for-charity.com.
Coming soon, we will also offer art journals, creative projects for kids, and a variety of "Art Makes You Happy" items designed to inspire creativity and bring joy to all ages.
NOW AVAILABLE!
