Projects
Inspired by the fashion industries long history of “x” collaborations (beginning with Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí's iconic 1937 Lobster Dress), Heartistry seeks to bring likeminded partners together to build intergenerational Community
Heartistry x Game Time (City of Durango)
With support and collaboration from the City of Durango’s Game Time program, Heartistry provided 12 weeks of visual arts curriculum to area youth. Throughout the summer programming, students were encouraged to make two pieces of artwork, one for themselves and one to donate. Pieces were curated and prepared for an end-of-season, gallery-style opening where seniors acquire pieces at no cost.
Heartistry X Boys & Girls Club x La Plata Senior Center
In collaboration with two Durango, Colorado nonprofit organizations that share many of the same goals, the La Plata Senior Center and Boys & Girls Club of La Plata, Heartistry supported the opening of a show of student works at the Senior Center, allowing center participants to enjoy the works, as well as take favorite pieces home.
Heartistry x SWMAJCLUB
Birds of a feather…build community together! Durango Colorado’s Southwest Mah Jong Club (SWMAJ) knows all about the importance of intergenerational community-building, so they were a natural fit for a Heartistry collaboration. Find a link to reach out to SWMAJ on our partners page!
