In a world where vulnerability and adversity cast their shadows upon the lives of countless children and youth, there exists a glimmer of light—a transformative force that breathes life into their spirits. This force is the power of free arts programs, a beacon of hope that unlocks the potential within their hearts and minds. Through brushes, pens, and instruments, these programs provide a refuge where creativity blossoms and dreams take flight. They empower the vulnerable to find their voice, heal their wounds, and envision a brighter future. In this article, we explore the profound impact of free arts programs, revealing the extraordinary stories of resilience, self-discovery, and boundless imagination that unfold when artistic expression meets compassionate guidance.
In the realm of nurturing young artistic souls, a prominent guardian emerges—Arts Umbrella, a remarkable charity dedicated to providing free arts programs to vulnerable children and youth. With their unwavering commitment and expertise, Arts Umbrella opens doors to creative exploration, fostering a safe and inclusive environment where young hearts can flourish, dreams can be realized, and futures can be transformed.
Prepare to dive into a world where artistry reigns supreme, and generosity knows no bounds. Arts Umbrella invites you to join them at The Splash Art Auction, an enchanting fundraising event that celebrates the transformative power of the arts while raising vital funds to ensure that vulnerable children and youth continue to have access to free artistic programs.
Over the last 40 years, Splash has established itself as one of Vancouver’s highest profile fundraising art auctions. Every year, Splash is proud to feature close to 100 renowned artists from across Canada and beyond, who donate original artwork to support youth access to arts education. Funds raised at Splash ensure that the life-changing benefits of an arts education can continue to be offered free-of-charge to vulnerable children and youth.
Save the date! We are excited to announce that Splash will be held on Saturday, October, 21, 2023 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.
