HOPE for Health was launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We saw an immediate need to bolster our community of artists and their businesses with financial and wellness support during this pandemic.
We created 200 HOPE for Health wellness bags consisting of nutrition and immunity items for our community of creatives that not only need to maintain their health during this time, but also their careers and livelihood. This campaign also curated and shared online resources to assist with our community's businesses, from legal counsel and accounting classes, to tax filing assistance.
We also commissioned 40 HOPE Artists to paint inspiring messages on the boarded up windows of 6th St and other local closed business around a theme of "These Walls Bring Us Together." During the month of March and April 2020, 20 murals brought life to newly quiet streets. Since the launch of this campaign we are focused now more than ever on additional ways we can bring entrepreneurial and professional development programming to our community through workshops, classes, discussions, and more.
