into art
The YoungArts Foundation traditionally raises most of their operating budget at a fancy gala dinner. But in the year of COVID-19, that wasn't possible. They needed to figure out how to raise money in a new, remote way. So we built them a first-of-its-kind fundraising tool: a short film you could buy. Featuring famous artists like KAWS, Shepard Fairey, Zoë Buckman, José Parlá and more, each frame was sold as unique 1-of-1 artwork to the organization's supporters. Hundreds of birds were drawn, and Young Arts made more money in one night than they had projected to earn for the entire year.
