ArtsJunktion

5 REASONS TO GIVE 1. Art influences your life every second of every day. Colour, texture, beauty, creativity, communication. We are constantly inspired by the artists who have gone before us and the artists of the future. With your partnership, ArtsJunktion wants to ensure that every moment is infused with and affected by art.  2. Art is the future. You are putting art in schools and investing in young, emerging artists. Teachers come through our doors picking up the supplies and skills they need to inspire children in classrooms across Manitoba to make art--we provide opportunities to dream, create, learn, think critically, and be challenged. Art is one of the best ways we know to develop healthy, vibrant schools, families and communities.    3. Art creates opportunities. New skills, new techniques, new community, new ways of supporting families. You are creating opportunities for us to hire local artists as well as provide supplies for artists/makers to sell their work and support their families.    4. Art is powerful. From providing affordable art supplies and art workshops that help people heal and get back on their feet, to ensuring ArtsJunktion's "pay-what-you-can" model stays PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN, to reducing waste (3000 kilograms every month!), to being the *ONLY* creative reuse centre in Western Canada, you are part of a one-of-a-kind initiative and making an impact.  5. We are all born artists.   We were all born with this incredible, beautiful ability to create. Creative expression is vulnerable but it's part of makes us vibrant, joyful, and ever-growing. ArtsJunktion strives to create space to acknowledge and celebrate that part of our humanity together by providing opportunities for art.    All in all, you, art, and ArtsJunktion are making a difference. Together, let's keep changing our corner of the world. Donate today!
