Artists Helping Children is dedicated to providing comfort and smiles to children in hospitals, shelters, and foster homes by brightening their environment with fun murals, toys, and arts supplies. Right now they are painting a pediatric wing at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NY, About 20 rooms in 2 Large Foster Homes (Agape Inn and Carousel Outreach), and shortly they will be painting another hospital in Denver, Colorado. In addition, they have been sending out 100s of gift bags full of arts and crafts goodies, each including a cuddly teddy bear. With your donations, they can now send out even more items to these ill kids, and cheer up and entertain even more children who are in need of a smile.

D.wrail Foundation was developed to promote the efforts and development of urban & progressive artists, to inspire and navigate the mainstay of what is collectively known as urban art. By allowing artists to focus on the creation process and not the expense of creating, D.wrail has built an extraordinarily strong platform from which our artists can produce their work and develop their vision.
D.wrail has set out to enable artists all over the world by providing opportunities, both artistic and financial. Through our programs and the support of like-minded individuals and corporations, we have been able to fund college scholarships and art supply and equipment grants, to lessen what is often the biggest obstacle to artist development - funding. Further, by aiding artists directly through coordination of gallery shows and through our one-on-one artist development programs we provide artists with the experience they need to successfully market themselves and their work to galleries, corporations and publishers, coupled with a hands-on approach to personal development and learning.
In addition to our individual grants and scholarships, D.wrail has also created several programs that give back to the community directly, such as our inner city mural project, which integrates the works of established and recognized urban artists into areas overrun by graffiti. We feel that doing so introduces a sense of pride, ownership and community to a student by encouraging their own talents and creating something safe and inspirational.
