We’d like to help you send boxes of art supplies to people who could use them – people who have limited or no access to art supplies in communities in Canada due to financial constraints or community remoteness. You can collect contributions for an ArtBox through:
ArtBridges/ToileDesArts' will suggest or facilitate a match with communities that need ArtBoxes. We'll directly connect you with community-engaged arts initiatives so that you can make arrangements to deliver the ArtBox.
Here are some starter ideas for ArtBoxes for community arts initiatives in remote, under-resourced and under-served communities.
In November 2012, ArtBridges/ToileDesArts’ assisted Southern Youth in Motion, a project of the Mamow Sha-way-gi-kay-win: North South Partnership for Children with guidance about the solicitation of art supplies for youth from remote North Ontario communities. …“We could not be happier with our relationshipwith ArtBridges/ToileDesArts’ and are so thankful to Seanna and Cora-Rae who have really gone above and beyond to support our campaign and especially support our youth in the north.”
