My latest commission piece was done for a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization in Washington, DC, Raising Expectations Inc., in efforts to raise money and match their grant from The DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities and the National
Endowment for the Arts and a Happy Hour Fundraising Event on Friday, April 8th.
Their motto is “Re-Educate, Re-Connect and Re-Unify through the arts.” They are a group of local artists who broaden creative opportunities through putting together positive-minded, creative workshops to reach at-risk youth by developing their artistic intellect and analytical skills.
