Fresh Artists: Great Art Doing Good

Fresh Artists believes that art has the power to change lives. Fresh Artists amplifies the voice of children by promoting their access to the transformative process of art making, validating their talent and providing opportunities to express their selfless concern for the well being of others.
Sakura of America is proud to sponsor Fresh Artists, a nationally award-winning organization that offers a solution to the severe cuts in public school arts funding. Scaled up reproductions of art from their curated collection of more than 1800 pieces of art are displayed in Fortune 500 corporations and nonprofit organizations nation-wide. The digital images, donated by children in high-poverty public schools, enabled Fresh Artists to deliver the retail value of more than $800,000 in art supplies to severely under funded schools throughout the country. Children, empowered as philanthropists through their art, are change-makers in their communities and the world.
Fresh Artists has designed and delivers eleven free, innovative art programs to teachers in under-served schools. Their programs show children how “taking your artwork off the fridge and putting it to work for good” provides children with hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, philanthropy and lessons in art as a business.
