We're having our 2nd annual "ART=JUSTICE" hootenanny auction/raffle fundraiser for the Idaho Prison Arts Collective, yay! Save Saturday evening Nov. 9 on your calendar. Last year, we raised $5,700 to buy art supplies and send teachers like me into Idaho State Prisons to offer the respite, peace, and emotional benefits of making art.

Meanwhile, I'm looking for gift donations! Friends and business owners, if you'd like to contribute to a raffle basket, goods & services, we're looking for:
• cabin stays
• tickets/memberships
• wine / restaurant gift cards
• shopping gift cards
• quality new items for gift baskets
• yummy delicacies for gift baskets

Email our director, [email protected] to tell Michael any item(s) you'd like to contribute.
Thanks SO MUCH! Our artists are beyond excited for the good we bring to incarcerated people.

Image: We painted this sailboat the other week, and it was moving to see everyone's beautiful creations. Especially because for most of them, it was their very first time to paint.

Here’s what my Olympics feel like: I worked on this portrait of drummer Kobie Watkins off and on since 2017, and hooray, I finished it this week!—it’s SOLD! 😍 I want to thank my friend David Vandas and his prayer-art group in Canada for helping me push through into new things for my art. Thanking God for good artist friends!!
