The art supply collection drive from July 29-Aug 19 for the fall shipments to remote Indigenous schools has come to a successful close. We are now focussing on getting all the collected supplies sorted and prepared for shipping. Still want to donate? You’ll soon have another chance to donate supplies. Art for Aid collects art supplies up to the middle of May each year. We will soon be announcing the next collection dates.

The Importance of Your Signature and the COA

Are you an artist? The Certificate of Authenticity and your artist's signature are two very important elements in selling your artwork.
What is an Archival Quality Print?
Colleen Gray Archival Prints Blog Post #AFAPColleen
The Art For Aid Project only sells archival quality prints, but why?The term “archival print” is the term used to describe fine art reproductions of museum quality. Using the finest quality papers and inks designed to resist colour fading, paintings are reproduced using a fine art printer with exceptionally high resolution. The end result of this process means that the artwork is 200 years light-fast (will not fade when properly displayed out of the direct impact of the sun). The paper used should be pH neutral, and the ink is pigment ink.
