For the past couple of years, The Art Room has initiated a community art project, involving our members and anyone else who wants to participate; once it’s completed, we donate the artwork to a local nonprofit. Last year we created 1000 Cranes for Peace, which we donated to Denton MHMR, and the year before we created Denton Community Collage, which we donated to Serve Denton, Wheeler House. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our 2021 Community Project for North Texas Giving Day is creating this large collaborative painting named Roots and Branches :⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We will be donating Roots and Branches to Cumberland Presbyterian Children’s Home. In order to complete the painting, we will need sixty 10” x 10” Claybord canvases from artists within our community, which will be put together to make the complete 5’ x 9’ community painting.

We have already created a grid on a wall in The Art Room of the canvases we have received so far!

if you can't commit to painting a panel but would like to support the project, consider making a donation of $20.00 to sponsor a panel. You can make your donation here.

We can not wait to see how beautiful it will all look when it is finished!
