Q: What are your keys to succeed in your local community?
A: We are inspired by Gandhi’s quote, “Be the change in the world in the world you wish to see.”
Whether because of economic times or a simple shift in priorities it seems many are becoming more socially responsible. Artists have found a way to combine passion for beautiful things with successful philanthropic efforts. The result: in addition to a stunning collection there is strong business acumen to give back to a myriad of community organizations. So by getting help with your need for beauty, help is given back to local nonprofit’s.
We work together to raise funds or awareness in volunteer projects throughout our region. There seems to be boundless energy to bring good works and compassion to the local area. One artist, Martha Denham, has raised the bar so far that she contributes all her proceeds to the Oregon Food Bank, another contributes to Ocean Conservation, and the list goes on.
Overall, we don’t entice with product and service discounts but rather become community partners in doing good works.
