#TwitterArtExhibit utilizes social media and public engagement to generate income for charities and nonprofit organizations. In the past, #TwitterArtExhibit has generated funds for a library suffering from deep funding cuts to purchase much-needed children’s books, for an abused women’s shelter seeking to improve the lives of the families they serve, and for an arts organization mentoring underprivileged young adults in preparation for careers in the visual arts.

 

• Artists worldwide donate postcard-sized, handmade original artwork to the TAE

• TwitterArtExhibit organizes a local, physical showcasing of the art.

• The public is invited to buy the art at an affordable, flat price.

• This provides artists with new exhibition opportunities, new audiences and benefactors, and appeals to art enthusiasts all over the world.

• It’s fun!
