Arts for a better purpose - Care for the community

We started the Cards for Care project in 2016 when we had just finished 6th grade. Once we had become close friends in the year prior, we begged our parents to let us hang out more in the summer. We found that we both love art so that is exactly what we did throughout the summer. We reached a point where there was no more space to hold yet another one of our pieces - drawers, walls, and refridgerator sufraces were all filled. It was almost as if each painting was forgotten once it was finished too. With that and the storage issue, Cards for Care arose. We thought to give value to our seemingly meaningless doodles. And, we learned the importance of giving back to the community.
