Want to make a difference for the Heart Artists but don't have any open wall space? Read below for other opportunities to Make an Impact!
Item Number 103: Laptops for Friendship Heart Studio Art Instructors (3) = $2,547
Based on what we have learned throughout the last year, new and responsive technology is imperative and directly related to increased Team Member productivity, ultimately bettering the Heart Artists Studio and Gallery experience. Regardless of teaching art lessons virtually or in-person, instructors are always creating lesson plans, finding new inspiration and researching new art trends and ideas. In addition, being a licensed Day Program and abiding by rigorous state standards, instructors are required to complete proper documentation in the form of daily service notes for each Heart Artist. Through your donations towards new Studio laptops, the instructors are better equipped to support each and every Heart Artists in Expressing Their Capabilities.


Item Number 104: Technology Kits: (8) 1st Gen Apple pencils; (8) Procreate App; (8) Art Station App; (8) iPad cases; (8) Tempered Glass iPad screen protectors; (20) Digital art gloves= $1,348
The past year has presented new challenges but also new opportunities, especially in utilizing technology. We are eager to expand upon our use of iPads in the Studio and have found various supplies and software which can further enhance the user experience. Each technology kit includes 2 separate digital art apps, a specialized pencil that allows for creative versatility directly on the iPad, functional gloves to minimize pressure points on the screen and a protective hard case and screen protector to ensure the safety of each device. With your support of this need, Heart Artists will be able to dive into new creative avenues including digital art and photography both in the Studio and in the surrounding art scene of Lancaster City.

Item Number 102: "Think Big" Large Canvases: (5) 24"x48" & (5) "24 x 36" = $308
Heart Artists love to come to the Studio to not only hone in on their personal skill sets, but also spend time in a nurturing environment filled with laughter and love. Whether working independently or collaboratively in a group setting, the Heart Artists often add their unique point of views to their pieces. By investing in these large canvases, you encourage the Heart Artists to think big, to work together as a team and to be comfortable exploring new creative avenues. 

Thank you to everyone who donated towards these new Studio canvases! They are 100% funded!!
The Art Auction ends this Thursday at 8pm!
