Billboard Generation IV: 2006 Youth Art Month Fund Drive

Every March, Your Art Here sponsors a billboard art competition for local school-age children in celebration of National Youth Art Month. Winners have their artwork displayed on billboards in Bloomington and Indianapolis. In 2006, we are proud to sponsor our fourth competition, Billboard Generation IV. This year, we are asking kids to answer the question “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” This question invites entrants to self-reflect and to imagine the kind of person they hope to become as an adult.

To raise funds for Billboard Generation IV, we are asking you to help us instill confidence and foster creativity in our youth by sponsoring a billboard. Here’s how your donation can help make it happen:

• A donation of $25 covers the shipping costs of one youth art billboard from the printer.
• A donation of $75 pays for half of a youth art billboard (although it’s best to have a whole billboard!).
• $150 in donations covers the cost of printing one youth billboard (and making one youth extremely happy).
• A donation of $400 covers the cost of renting one billboard to display one child’s work of art for the month of March this year.

All donations will go to fund youth art billboards in both Bloomington and Indianapolis. Your donation can even be made tax-deductible. We have partnered with The Humanetrix Foundation, Inc., a public-interest technology organization with non-profit 501(c)(3) status located in Bloomington, Indiana. They have agreed to accept donations on our behalf to allow contributors to deduct donations from their taxes. Humanetrix will receive 5% of each donation to cover administrative costs.

Any amount will help. Please download the donation form (pdf) and send along with your contribution. Payments should be made to Humanetrix Foundation and mailed to Your Art Here, 1419 S. Washington Street, Bloomington, IN 47401.

Thanks!
