Help a Charity by Submitting your Art

Dana Farber Cancer Institute, 2009

Are you an artist?  Each year, some of the charities on our site seek holiday art for their cards. 

The Dana Farber Cancer Institute asks for "artwork or photography featuring Boston Red Sox or New England Patriots-inspired images, winter scenes of familiar Boston landmarks, or New England beach scenes and lighthouses" for its successful card program. 

And each spring, artists throughout the world submit their work to Courage Cards, which benefits the Courage Center in Minnesota. 



Duke Children's Hospital and Health Center, 2010

Some non-profits request that the artists live nearby.  Adults and children who live in New Hampshire can submit their art to CASA of New Hampshire.  Duke Children's Hospital and Health Center seeks paintings and drawings from North Carolina children (under age 18). 

The Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee also asks for design submissions from local artists.

I'll start keeping a list of these organizations and put them on the site.  If you hear of other non-profits that accept card art submissions, please let me know.

Thanks -
Anne

2012 Designs Appearing

August is a great month to choose holiday cards.  Non-profits that have recently added new designs include The National Wildlife Federation, the Pine Tree Society (which helps disabled children and adults in Maine), the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and The National Arbor Day Foundation.

If you're considering sending Sahaya International's hand-embroidered cards, you'll need to order them before the end of this month; it takes between half a day and two days to create each intricate card.  The cards provide essential income for women and girls in southern India.
