Project Art Aid

Project Art Aid Charlotte!

Project Art Aid is a community based organization, and operates entirely through the contributions of participating artists and volunteers.

Project Art Aid’s vision is one of artists working in solidarity to address the needs of local and global communities. The organization has a strong belief in the power of creativity and in harnessing their collective works to serve humanity. Through art, we express, and through that expression, we manifest positive change in the world.

Project Art Aid works in partnership with local and global charities in fundraising, and with local arts organizations in the pursuit of artistic endeavors.

One-Heart Mosaic Unveiling!

The “One-Heart” Mosaic was unveiled in it’s permanent location in the lobby of the Presbyterian Cancer Center on Thursday, February 9th. Over 50 artists and supporters were on hand to celebrate the installation. A plaque displaying the names of all of the contributing artists indicating their position in the mosaic was prominently displayed. Cancer patients from the Buddy Kemp Center created Valentine’s as tokens of appreciation for the artists. The event was covered by Chanel 14 News, the full story can be seen at this link: One-Heart Mosaic Unveiling. Our sincere thanks to Kay Saville and the staff at the Presbyterian Cancer Center who did a wonderful job of hosting the event.
