Art for Goodness Sake

Participant: Deena Frankel

Mission: Pen and ink, watercolor, computer graphics, tiny free libraries

Central Vermont Refugee Action Network–CVRAN–welcomes asylum seeker and Afghan refugee families to Vermont by assisting them with housing, living expenses, legal fees and wrap-around services that help them get settled here. The CVRAN March Arts Marathon is the primary annual fundraiser.

Here’s how it works: participating artists produce and share artwork (visual, aural, written) with their sponsors six days each week during March. In my case, I give my sponsors the option of receiving my visual artwork daily or in a weekly digest. Also, once a week during the Marathon, I draw one name from among my sponsors and that person gets to choose a signed original from among my Marathon pieces. So four people will “win” a framed work.

Please consider becoming a sponsor at any level to help CVRAN welcome new Americans and to enjoy a month of original art.
