Calling all Artist to A Beautiful Idea
I think that art has the potential to change the world in so many ways.
My friend Kent Shaffer sent me word about A Beautiful Idea that I want to share with you…Kent’s wife, Evie, is teaming up with artists around the globe to create art, sell it, and then donate 100% of the sales to charity. It is a way for artists to use their talents for good causes.
How It Works
1. Etsy sellers, independent sellers and artists create a unique product to list and sell in their store, with 100% of the sale of that item going to charity. This can be ongoing, or a one-time deal. Your choice.
2. Once a sale is made, you are responsible for donating the funds to ABI’s donation center.
3. At the end of every month, ABI will donate the funds given to the chosen charity and give a report on our blog. Every 6 months (or once our monetary goal is hit), a new charity or cause will be selected.
3 Easy Steps for Artists to Join
1. Just fill out this form to join the network – http://beautifulidea.evie-s.com/blog/sign-up-form
2. Get to work creating, and listing your unique product(s) for our big push by March 15th.
3. Donate 100% of your item(s) cost to ABI’s donation center – http://beautifulidea.us/donate.html
3 Benefits
1. Artists have a way to create work for a greater purpose.
2. Consumers are given the opportunity to buy a unique product that supports a cause.
3. Charities are given the proceeds to help their mission.
The Potential
This movement has terrific potential. If only 1% of Etsy.com’s current 200,000+ sellers joined ABI and contributed $20 each month, we would raise $40,000 dollars each month! Think of the unprecedented change that artists could make in the world.
