About Us

Who Are We?

Paint It Forward is a youth-led 501(c)(3) organization working to bring awareness to emerging artists and help raise funds to buy supplies for a special education school. We are based in New York, where we seek to address the issue of underfunded special education by buying art and school supplies. 50% of our proceeds go to Adapt Community Network, a special education school. As we work to reach these goals, we raise money by selling artists' art through this digital platform as well as in-person events. We promote donated art through our social media and host exhibitions to display it. Whether you are an artist who is looking for exposure or a student interested in art, you are encouraged to make any form of art, such as jewelry, painting, printed digital art, or sculpture, and donate it to our cause. More information can be found on our Sell Art page.

We work all around New York to sell art, host events, and collect donations. Donating art to help with our mission is a meaningful step forward. Every dollar makes an impact. No kid should have unequal opportunities. Join us on our mission to bring support to children with special needs while gaining exposure as an artist!
