Share Your Gift as a Chula League BIG ARTIST

In this season of giving, most of us are thinking about the things we can buy, but I want to take the opportunity to talk to my artist friends about something less tangible. Have you ever thought about giving the gift of your time to an aspiring young artist? I can personally attest to the value of mentorship when considering the arts. This is not an easy business, but it's worth if you have help navigating the challenges. Think about the support you've gotten throughout your life as you explored art. For most of us, the journey starts when we are young, and without the right encouragement, we could have ended up going any other direction. While this may sound biased given my involvement in the local nonprofit Chula League, I am truly inspired by their Little Artist BIG ARTIST program. Built entirely around mentorship, this organization pairs professional artists with elementary school students who show promise in the arts for one-on-one art sessions. I highly recommend this opportunity if you have time in your schedule this coming spring! Find out more below.
