Executive Director and Master Artist Amy Burkman has dedicated her life to doing art to help others. She started with creating educational murals in West Africa and she’s now raised $2 million dollars for charity through art. Good Art Project will help even more organizations through the power of art and employ artists around the country to do the same. We have an amazing team of women on the board ranging from business owners to environmental planners, artists and past Peace Corp volunteers. We believe in doing art for good to help heal and inspire hope. We invite you to learn more about our current projects and then join us and make an impact with your donation.
