Art At Home Campaign

Many of the artists we support have health and living circumstances that prevent them from returning to our studios during the pandemic. We are encouraging them to continue creating art from home by providing virtual art challenges and safely delivering personalized art supply kits.

Your donation of $30 provides a month of art supplies safely delivered to one artist to create art at home.

Captivating ceramic sculptures by Ty Bennett. Which is your favorite?

Ty Bennett thinks of himself as an outside thinker. He works primarily in the ceramics studio, but also draws in the painting studio and at home.
He creates imaginative sculptures and drawings that express his sense of humor. He works with fun shapes, bright colour and dark subject matter. Ty is connected to his materials and focuses on detail and craftsmanship resulting in a body of work that is both whimsical and otherworldly.
