A fundraising project conceived by artist Lisa Riordon to benefit the children of Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Lisa painted daily for 40 days with the help of local elementary school students in Newburyport, MA. The project and resulting show came together quickly and dozens of volunteers made it a huge success. All originals sold and 100% of the proceeds were donated to Save the Children. Prints are always available - and we thank you for your support!

We're in the paper... and on CNN iReport!
What an amazing day. I picked up the The Newburyport Current and wow! Barbara Taormina did a fantastic article about what we're doing. What a boost. And the print version has a full page of color! They ran great photos of kids in Mrs. Whitney's class.
Might have to cut and paste the url here to see the article. For some reason the link isn't working (which means I can't figure it out)...

The CNN iReport was posted by a great friend. It links back here to the blog for full details.
