Proceeds from the purchase of Teachers: The Ones I Can’t Forget, will benefit Artolution.

Artolution is a community-based public arts education organization that seeks to ignite positive social change through collaborative art making and strengthen communities in crisis through the power of art. Artolution focuses on developing local leaders in the arts to use collaborative art-making as a tool for building community resilience and the agency to shape their own story. Their foundation works in refugee camps and with crisis-affected communities on five continents, and have worked in over 35 nations internationally. These projects bring together children, youth, families, artists, and community groups from socially excluded and vulnerable communities to promote mental health, social and emotional learning and inclusion by providing a platform for youth to tell their stories through creating murals, recycled interactive sculptures, music, performance and beyond. Currently, Artolution has teams of over 120 local and refugee teaching artists, each trained and certified in the Artolution methodology, leading community-based public arts programs year-round in Jordan, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Uganda, Colombia, and across the US.
