2025 was a successful year for Art for Aid and a good measure of that success is because of people who bought from our Shopify store. All proceeds go towards supporting our work, so thank you for helping to keep the lights on!
Corporate Gift Giving
Art for Aid can supply your business with items that appeal to corporate gift giving. We can print your logo onto the back of our cards or include your personal message on the inside of the card. Email us to learn how we can help. 2026 Calendars are now 20% off. These make wonderful gifts with frameable art on each page.
Land Acknowledgement Plaques – Why are they important?
A land acknowledgement is how your home or organization publicly recognizes that you are living on land that has been, and continues to be, taken care of by Indigenous peoples. However, the acknowledgement is only a stepping stone to future actions that can align your path and business with supporting Indigenous people.
We need to keep talking. Learning is power.
Limited Edition Unframed Prints:
We offer limited-edition prints in short-run batches. The prints are produced on fine art paper with archival ink. Each print is titled, numbered and signed by hand, packaged with several copies of the story, and artist’s biography. All limited editions are ready to drop into any commercial or custom frame to be enjoyed in your home or office. As with all artwork, never hang your art in direct sunlight as this will fade the colour, regardless of how good your framing is.
A Nod to Our Volunteers:
Each year we collect and ship a significant volume of supplies to support youth art programs in remote schools and communities. We operate out of a small warehouse, in Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada, that is frequently full of supplies to sort and pack. This volume of work would not be possible without the support of a powerful volunteer crew that helps to keep the big wheels turning. I’m deeply grateful for the time they spend helping.
Events:
This year the Indigenous Cultural Fair and Art for Aid Fundraiser will be held on May 9th at Zion Memorial United Church and the Carleton Place Public Library. This incredible event focuses on Indigenous education and experiences while raising funds for our work. We are in our 5th year now and thanks to a grant from the United Church of Canada, we are able to support more workshops, vendors and experiences! Bring the family to a beautiful Celebration of Indigenous Culture.
