Hearts With a Mission (HWAM) is a community run non-profit that serves homeless and at-risk youth in the Rogue Valley. They work hard to provide shelter, education, mentoring, and transition planning to the kids less fortunate in and around Medford. Recently we have begun coordinating an art class for the kids in the shelter. As a business that shares a common vision as HWAM, we are hoping you will be able to help us get started in these efforts. Are there excess supplies left behind by students that we might utilize for HWAM, or obsolete media that might otherwise go to waste?

It’s the last week of summer, and Bandon High School senior Becca Anderson is spending her days at the city’s wastewater treatment facility. Anderson and three other BHS students are using their vacation time to help artist and educator Vicki Affatati restore 5200 square feet of maritime murals on the water treatment tanks.
Participation in the mural restoration earns Anderson the primary research and community service required for her senior project. Anderson says the restoration isn’t “just about painting,” but includes fund raising and visit to service clubs.

For those who don’t already know, Jacksonville artist and student at SOU Addi Black is a local leader in humanitarian art at age 22. After a trip to South Africa in 2006, she and her family were rocked to the core at the need they found there, and she began to paint portraits of Africans to sell for their benefit, donating 100% of the proceeds to a school for AIDS orphans there. She sold all but two of her Africa paintings, quit her part-time job, and kept painting…until…
