IPaintMyMind

My students loved their experience with IPaintMyMind! I PMM was such a joy to work with and provided other resources and support. They provided us with beautiful art that decorates our walls along with resources to support teachers. The resources are available for art teachers AND anyone simply interested in learning more and/or infusing art into their curriculum. Thank you so much!!!

IPaintMyMind has loaned us some amazing artwork for our dojo and wellness center. People remark on it all the time, and I love the model of paying artists upfront for their work. Love IPaintMyMind!!

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with IPaintMyMind over the past three years as the General Manager of a Class A office building. Our goal was to support a cause we are passionate about through a rotating art program, and IPaintMyMind has been instrumental in helping us achieve this.
Through their services, we successfully showcased local Chicago art in our gallery-like lobby, supporting regional and minority artists while enhancing our office environment. This collaboration extends beyond art displays. Each year, Evan and his team create a custom logo for our annual summer event, which is featured on t-shirts for our popular “merch tent.” These shirts have become a hottest item for our Tenants, and the added benefit is that we can share with our tenants that the proceeds support arts programs within Chicago Public Schools.
Moreover, one of the most impactful aspects of our partnership with IPaintMyMind has been their initiative to inspire young minds. They organized a tour for a group of students through our office building, demonstrating that art can extend beyond traditional mediums and into various professional fields. For instance, the students visited the Wilson Sporting Goods office and discovered how artists contribute to the design of basketballs, shoes, and apparel. Witnessing the students’ excitement and realization that an art education can lead to diverse career opportunities was truly moving.
Overall, our partnership with IPaintMyMind has been deeply rewarding, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to support and inspire both local artists and young students.

It was such a pleasure working with IPMM on our most recent event! We had Evan and his team onsite making awesome t-shirts for our annual "LollaPRUlooza" tenant event. This activation was such a hit and received tons of positive feedback. It is evidently clear that each member of IPMM is incredibly passionate about the art they produce as well as accomplishing their mission statement of transforming people and spaces through the power of art. IPaintMyMind’s dedication to making art an integral part of every community is admirable, and their efforts have not gone unnoticed. They have successfully created a model where everyone benefits: artists gain exposure, communities enjoy beautification, and businesses participate in a culture of giving. IPMM definitely earned our support here at the Prudential Plaza; we love everything you stand for!

I have loved my experience with IPaintMyMind! They are such a joy to work with and provide a wealth of resources and support. They provided us with beautiful art that decorates our walls along with so many resources to support teachers. The resources are available for art teachers AND anyone simply interested in learning more and/or infusing art into their curriculum. Thank you so much!!!

I recently had the honor of working with Evan at IPaintMyMind. The organization made a generous donation of TEN framed pieces of Chicago themed art that will be displayed at my public school in Chicago. I was invited to the warehouse where I was essentially able to "shop" for beautiful artwork which was gifted completely free of cost. Evan was super helpful with selecting work and even provided suggestions for lesson plans. The whole experience was a treat! If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend working with and supporting IPaintMtMind.

I provide Project Management services at the PepsiCo Frito-Lay HQ and worked closely with Evan from IPaintMyMind on the ERG Mural we just unveiled on campus. Evan was wonderful to work with, he provided us with a clear and direct plan to meet our schedule constraints and guided us through the design process to ensure PepsiCo's vision would be represented within the mural. I truly appreciated Evan's collaboration and partnership, he went above and beyond to prioritize the client's vision and took ownership over the design process while grounding the team to our mission statement defined at the start of the project. Evan and our incredibly talented artist Lisa brought so much passion and energy to this project, it was such a blast to work with them. Thank you for bringing this vision to life so beautifully, I would love a future opportunity to work with IPaintMyMind and support their mission.

It’s hard not to become a supporter of IPMM after meeting Evan and witnessing his enthusiasm and dedication. Our company recently forged a partnership with IPMM to sponsor the art program at Leif Ericson Scholastic Academy for the upcoming school year. Additionally, we had the pleasure of working with Evan to host an event in support of the partnership and IPMM. I highly encourage anyone seeking ways to make a positive impact on children, support art, and celebrate community to work with Evan and IPMM!

I heard of IPaintMyMind through the school I am currently long term guest teaching at. I noticed the artwork hanging in the halls; digital portraits of many great artist like Yayoi Kuzama and Corita Kent -which led to a great conversation with the vice principal about the mission of this organization. I was also able to connect with Evan, the founder of IPaintMyMind, and he was extremely helpful in learning more and open to all questions! I love the idea of making art accessible and prominent in communities, especially in underserved areas. What a great way to cultivate creativity in our communities!!

I run a dojo and wellness center that focuses on community building and family-friendly spaces. We were looking for ways to brighten up the space and make it feel more community-centered. I Paint My Mind not only loaned us a variety of professional artwork to display on our walls, but Evan's offered free consulting and installation of the pieces. They have absolutely transformed our space! Today we had families walk in for their normal karate classes, but pause to take in the art and ask questions about the art and the artists. He also gave us coloring sheets so we can encourage our own families to contribute their own art to display in our space. Evan not only refreshed our space aesthetically, he helped us find outlets for our community members to contribute to the space artistically as well. I can't recommend this non-profit highly enough!

IPMM is wonderful and the art curated for our office is beautiful and everyone loves the pieces. I love that we work with a nonprofit that does so much for art education and supports local artists. Evan is great, he's so easy to work with and helpful is choosing pieces that fit the company aesthetic. I look forward to our yearly rotation to see what he's going to show us.

After being introduced to Evan and getting to know him and the IPMM organization we worked together to have our company sponsor an arts program at an in-need CPS school. We celebrated this with an event bringing together our clients and partners to toast to community and the arts. Evan helped connect us with an amazing local artist for the event and worked with us to maximize the impact of our community outreach.

We had the opportunity to work with I Paint My Mind through the shared art program at my school in Chicago, Edison Park Elementary. My amazing art teacher applied for the program and we were lucky enough to be selected. Evan, from I Paint My Mind, is a passionate, kind, and dedicated leader when it comes to getting amazing pieces of art in schools throughout Chicago. He has been nothing but a pleasure to work with since we started this collaboration a few months ago. I look forward to many more years working with him and the artists he knows. I cannot tell you how happy I am about this partnership!

The artist who visited our school did an amazing job of explaining the screen printing process. He was patient, enthusiastic and had a smile on his face the entire time! Great experience for our students. Thank you!

IPMM provided our students with an amazing experience. Students of all abilities were empowered to create art in a safe and fun space. The organization was organized, communicated well, and prepared for whatever we threw at them. I highly recommend this experience for other students. Thank you again!

IPMM is a wonderful partner organization. As a CPS STEAM school, our goal is to increase students' exposure to high quality arts programming, and IPMM has played an active role in helping us achieve our goals. Our students have become pros at screen printing because of IPMM!

The artwork by local artists that adorn our corridor brings the space to life, while giving our community ideas to engage in discourse around art styles and perspectives, as well as inspire our students to tap into their own creativity.

The IPMM team has been a pleasure to work with as their communication and flexibility make partnering with them easy to do. We look forward to a continued partnership with Evan and the team!

IPaintMyMind is an awesome organization that helps promote art education in CPS schools such as mine in a very creative way. The artwork and curriculum that was provided by Evan and his team was extremely helpful when it came to my units. We used his pieces of art donated to us for the school year to discuss the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. We also used these local artists for Hispanic Heritage Month. I have taken my students into the hallways where the artwork is installed, and we did a Gallery Walk with different grade levels. It was exciting to hear the students speak their minds about what they saw and felt when looking at the art. Overall, this was a great opportunity for my students and truly we get work with Evan and his team at IPaintMyMind

I PaintMyMind has brought a museum quality gallery to our school for the third year in a row. It is always fresh and unique, as well as eye catching. Both our students and staff love having the gallery and we use it in our curriculum. We always look forward to working with Evan and the crew of IPMM!

My experience with IPMM over the last couple years has been so great! Via the shared walls program, my office gets refreshed with incredible art, which is great - but we've also partnered with them for the sponsor a school initiative to help get their art curriculum into schools that really need it. The impact we've been able to make together amazes me, and it feels fantastic to be able to partner with such a wonderful organization to give back to the community in such a meaningful way. It's also been an unexpectedly great way to network with people in the community who love art and giving back! Evan and the team are just the best people, and I hope to be able to continue working with them for a long time.

I’ve been following IPMM over the years and am always impressed at their continued growth and inventiveness. New programs, artists and outreach have blossomed. Something good is always on tap…the energy is contagious…kids smile and teachers are grateful. In an age where resources for the arts may be unavailable for everyone, IPMM steps up and hits it out of the park. Well done IPMM, well done indeed.

IPMM is an incredible organization that constantly exposes our students to new art and artists around Chicago. They inspire young artists by providing unique opportunities to learn and create. We are lucky to have them as part of our school community!

I have worked with IPMM as a Teacher and now Board Member since 2016. I am amazed at the organizations ability to pivot and serve as many people as they did successfully- in the last two years. Students received art supplies when they were learning from home, teachers received digital curriculum to help engage online learners, and the Mural on Wheels allowed us to create art safely together again outdoors. IPMM truly exhibited their values when they aimed - and currently are- serving majority of South and West side Chicago Public Schools this school year with their shared walls program. I am proud to work with this organization and be apart of the change they create in Chicago.

Working with IPMM leadership, I can tell they are a fun-loving & hardworking team of people who genuinely believe and care about the power of art. This team has an incredible goal of bringing out the best in their communities through the expansion of access to expressive forms of creative outputs. Their impact is both tangible and inspiring. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with the team in finding news ways to bring impact to the people that need it the most.

IPaintMyMind is amazing. They partnered with Curie Hs in the past as part of their Shared Walls initiative. Most recently they donated school supplies for our students! They are willing to support us in our efforts to provide high quality culturally responsive art curriculum to all students.

The reaction from the kids when they see the cool artwork they produced with the assistance of the I Paint My Mind team was a pleasure to see. They kept asking when they’d be able to do it again?! Love it!!

The work IPaintMyMind does to expose young people in Chicago to art and working artists is pivotal in ensuring pathways for the creative spirt.

Like words and numbers, expression is an equally important framework for us to learn in, share out, and pass on. IPaintMyMind understands this deeply and provides the experience for us to step into it.

Evan and the whole team at IPMM are awesome. They are extremely easy to work with and their mission to support the arts in so many different ways is critical. I'm so glad this organization exists and would recommend them highly!

Working with Evan and IPMM was an energizing collaboration in my professional development and as a librarian imagining 21st century spaces that reflect and uplift the community. When the mission of community organizations align like IPMM and Chicago Public Libraries to build creative and inspiring spaces, everyone that comes in contact with those spaces feel the positive impact. Ultimately I’m glad that we could make it happen. I’m grateful.

IPMM team is open, enthusiastic, and eager to share the joy they clearly experience by being a part of this organization. They lead every project with delight and professionalism. They care and understand the importance of community identity.

Moreover, they have an uncanny ability to quickly assess the needs of the community and deliver what the community wants without ever losing their enthusiasm or sense of wonderment about what it is they are delivering. All in all, a very pleasant and worthwhile association.

Proud to support this amazing and beautiful organization, IPMM. How they make sure the mission is impactful, especially on the south and westside. I wish I had an organization like this coming into my Elementary School as kid. To know how important and impactful it is, to have an idea and being able to put that on paper or out into the world, or just knowing you can make a difference with artwork. The visualization that IPMM brings to schools, allowing kids to see something different or see another perspective of something they might not have thought about. It's wonderful.

As a teacher trainer I spend time in many schools and have had the pleasure of witnessing IPMM's Shared Walls exhibits in several of them. It's amazing to see the pride and joy that these exhibits instill in the faculty, staff and students in each of those communities. The lack of resources for arts programs is a demoralizing problem for many, so IPMM's collaboration and exhibits are a welcome shot in the arm. When the students' art work is displayed in the hallways as an extension of the IPMM exhibit, that's when the real excitement begins, and that's where this organization's impact is really felt. If only there were more organizations like IPaintMyMind so every child could see themselves as budding artists!

I love the work IPMM is doing with the community and for the community! I particularly love being able to see fun art by local artists when I take my nephew to his neighborhood public library branch. I really enjoyed that I was able to have a conversation with him about that -art is for everyone, even little kids!

IPaintMyMind is not only having the best talents and strong curriculum, it also has one of the most fantastic people to work with. Definitely gonna support them on what they do because they are just awesome

I've said it before, and I will say it again: IPaintMyMind is all the things a nonprofit ought to be. They focus on direct impact, the organization is dedicated to equity, and the whole team is committed to a beautiful mission. Thank you, IPMM, for being wonderful!

I have been an educator in Chicago for 30 years and have always strived to integrate the arts into my teaching. This is the best not for profit organization to come along in years. My school partnered with I Paint My Mind a few years ago and we still have the art exhibit hanging on our walls. The concept conceived by its founder is brilliant and it's been a thrill to see the project endure, spread and evolve! Speaking for educators everywhere, "Thank You!"

Proud to support this amazing mission! Though I do not live in Chicago, I am still able to take part in IPMM's wonderful work through supporting their unique artist collaborations and cheering on the organization from afar.

I have worked with IPMM for over 5 years as a Teacher in Chicago Public Schools. It is a honor to work with a non profit who is committed to serving the communities of Chicago through Art. Students, parents and school communities in our city have been exposed to artists who are a reflection of the people who live here. I believe in this non profit so much that I am a member of the Board and am dedicated to continuing with IPMM's mission - of Art is for Everyone and Art is a Human Right!

In my first year partnering with I Paint My Mind, I have been completely satisfied with all aspects of the program. The artists selected for study reflect the diversity I so often seek in the study of art. The artists' work reflect the modern world and fill a void in art history. My 3rd-5th grade students have been very attentive and engaged in learning more about the artists and what they do. Logistically, it was a breeze to implement this well-written curriculum because of the a-la-carte options, a free guidebook, and intense, timely communication with the operation staff. The curriculum integrates seamlessly with visual arts standards, offers a script and higher-order thinking questions that guide students in reflecting on their own ideas about art. There is no other program out there like this one. We will be partnering again. I would highly recommend the non-profit if you are looking to supplement your art program.

IPaintMyMind and the shared walls program is truly an amazing, community driven initiative, centered around the equality, beauty, and excitement that art brings to life. IPMM cares about community, and understands the importance of community identity and unity, both in their community, and every community they visit and work with, any where in the world. They get it, and bring spaces and programs to life with bright colors.

If only ipaintmymind was around when I was in chicago public schools! What a special and truly unique model to provide artwork and programming to schools that would otherwise not have access to it. Bravo IPaintMyMind! We are your biggest fan!

IPaintMyMind is the best!! I love the work they are doing. The team displayed delightful artwork. Evan LaRuffa the founder is truly a great and friendly person. He is a champion of the arts.

What a great group! They helped beautify our school with artwork created by local artists. It certainly created some great conversations with students, and we've been really thankful to continue to work with them beyond the first year. Their art guide, their artwork, and their access to artists is truly a great resource for teachers and students.

As a CPS graduate and recent college graduate with a BA in Art History working with IPaintMyMind has been truly amazing! IPMM believes that art education is critical and has to be constantly evolving. They bring high-quality arts education to communities all over the city of Chicago, stressing representation and engagement.
I wish that my art education had been better funded and more complete when I was a CPS student and I know that the team at IPMM is doing all they can to make that wish a reality for students going through CPS now. And even beyond their permanent programs, I am constantly wowed by the pivoting that IPMM has done to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, rising to the occasion and providing resources to students and teachers all over the city and the country.

As an advisor, I am intimately involved in reviewing the financials of this organization. I can assure you that Evan, the founder, and his team squeeze the most value possible out of every dollar spent in support of their mission. Of the many organizations I have reviewed, none runs a tighter, efficient operation. It is inspiring to see the amazing spirit and dedication of the staff and volunteers. I have also had the opportunity to volunteer in supporting the Shared Walls program, installing artwork in Chicago's schools. Even in the few hours at the school, I could see the impact on the young students reflected in their eyes as they admired the newly installed pieces in their hallway. I encourage all to support IPaintMyMind!

Every child deserves an Arts education, creativity can be the catalyst for so much and kids should experience that from an early age. IPaintmyMind is paving the way for creative arts programs and helping to fund fantastic Art Programs in underfunded public schools. Their creative approach enables corporate organisations to also benefit from their work by renting art for the office or commissioning a mural, whilst at the same time funding these great art programs in local schools. Outstanding service and a wonderful initiative with true impact.

IPaintMyMind is an amazing nonprofit with a very necessary mission. They purchase art from creatives like me and work to get their design in public spaces. I had a great experience with this org and I really appreciate all the work they’re doing

I applaud the work that IPaintMyMind is doing for the Chicago community, students, teachers, artists, and companies such as my own. For over a year, art from IPaintMyMind's Shared Walls Programs has graced the walls of our office in the Chicago loop. We've had two installations featuring graphic prints and illustrations by Chicago artists. The art enlivens our work space and perfectly reflects our creative, thoughtful culture.

Our company, CityBase, creates software for the next generation of civic leaders who want to take the frustration out of managing local government. IPMM reflects and amplifies this focus because they too are focused on making cities better places to live by supporting artists and bringing arts to public spaces, public schools, and the young people in our city who may not otherwise have exposure to such beautiful work and creative expression.

I was looking for something that students can see them reflected in the art for our building and that would help create a beautiful environment in our building. I paint My Mind came up t a conference and I figured why not try it as soon as the pictures went up in our cafeteria adults both teachers and parents wanted to know more about the images. My Drama class is in the process of developing Character profiles based off of those pictures.It is an amazing organization doing amazing work.

Evan and everyone I've encountered through IPMM has been extremely enthusiastic and dedicated to art education. Their art collection is of the highest quality and provides a unique learning opportunity for students!

Evan and the IPMM team have been so wonderful to work with. They have made partnering painless and fun and I am so excited to have them working with Kelly this year. It's such a wonderful opportunity to transform our school into an art gallery! It really engages students, teachers, staff and families into connecting more deeply with the art world as well as bringing us all together! I am so grateful for all their amazing work!

Love that Portage Park Fine and Performing Arts Magnet School has been blessed with this exhibit. My kids love it!

I've been following IPaintMyMind since the beginning of their journey and they remain true to their mission & values. Their sustainable financial business model is innovative makes so much practical sense. The FREE art programs they offer to underserved schools, libraries, and youth centers look outstanding. It's also clear that they really care about making spaces beautiful and inspiring to the clients, teacher, staff, and students where they install the art. Really cool work.

The enthusiasm brought by the I Paint my Mind team was infectious and they left a beautiful display at our school.

Fantastic experience with IPaint My Mind. Evan is great at communicating, being very profession and making himself available at anytime to your school. Teachers and staff have enough to do and Evan made the process of brightening up our school with quality artwork, easy and fun! I cannot wait to start teaching with the prints that are hanging in our school.

IPMM turns art into impact using a model that provides mutual benefit to all involved: artists, businesses and, most importantly, the communities they serve.

IPaintMyMind has transformed the way in which I interact with art and the community and the way in which I see others doing the same. Artists and consumers have traditionally existed in separate spaces, each of which have been inaccessible to the people who arguably need art the most. What's more, any attempts to bridge that gap have seemingly left one part feeling unfulfilled--financially or otherwise. IPMM has created the perfect synergy between artist, consumer, and community, ensuring that all take ownership of their role in creative spaces and are appreciated for said roles accordingly. -C. Sims

I enjoyed working with I Paint My Mind because of their larger vision of making art accessible to everyone. As a public artist, working on projects with lots of entities involved, it’s important to me that the work I do is not only appropriately facilitated and executed, but that the end result can be shared by anyone. IPMM’s mission stands out to me ethically unmatched in regards to making art accessible to all.

Love this nonprofit! They help the artist community and serve underprivileged areas by giving them some much needed inspiration. Evan has a great eye for art too. His displays are very fun and creative.

I've worked closely with IPMM for going on ten years now. Its been the easiest ten years of volunteer time to give away. I believe heavily in IPMM's mission, and the ability of all involved to serve that mission with creativity, empathy, and a general sense of giving a sheit. IPaintMyMind is the most unique NFP I've ever been involved with and for that I am grateful. I've gotten back far more than I've given.

We have had the pleasure of working side by side with IPMM and they are one of the most innovative nonprofits out there. The leadership team is dynamic and progressive, and their vision is truly inspiring. Ethical, transparent and genuinely passionate about making art truly accessible. It's nonprofit organisations like this that are an absolute credit to the sector.

Partnering with IPAINTMYMIND allows me to have more positive impact in the world without ever leaving the business that I'm busy running! They are giving young people an opportunity to experience a version of the world that many miss out on because of their identity and social position. When I try to actually imagine a life without art, it makes it a no brainer to support the work of IPAINTMYMIND, because they are erasing that reality and instead painting the picture of a world where everyone benefits from artistic expression.

Not only that, but they're inspiring to work with! As a Founder, Evan LaRuffa brings a contagious energy and optimism to all his work. You will leave conversations with Evan with four new ideas to work on!

I will keep coming back to this partnership because of their professionalism and impact.

IPMM brings local art and illustration into Chicago schools, demonstrating to students that creativity can be found anywhere and everywhere in daily life.

The obvious and undeniable factor that makes IPMM so effective is the joy that drives all of their work. Their mission to make art accessible to all and to spread the benefits of creativity is so clearly expressed in every event, every partnership, and every opportunity they have to engage with the public. Every member of the IPMM team is open, enthusiastic, and eager to share the joy they clearly experience by being a part of this organization. They lead every project with delight, whether they are working with school kids, artists, corporate partners, or donors, and that passion and pride is contagious!

There is nothing out there quite like IPaintMyMind. The real magic is their Shared Walls program where businesses buy rotating art exhibits of local artwork right in their office space. The proceeds then fund art education and free exhibitions in underfunded communities. Having followed and participated in the organization from a chance Airbnb stay with the founder as fate would have it, I am continuously energized by the spirit and mission of this non-profit and it’s relentless founder, Evan. Evan’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit make him an effective business partner who understands both sides of the equation: how businesses AND the local community can benefit and be better off together through art. Every year I see the impact of IPaintMyMind grow in their annual impact report and cannot wait to see them contInue to grow across the country. I’m definitely pitching the Shared Walls program to my new company.

IPaintMyMind is such a wonderful organization that brings works of art typically done by local artists into the forefront. One of my favorite pieces was purchased at one of there events and it is so unique and different from anything I've seen before.

I have had an extremely pleasant experience in working with iPaintMyMind. Evan and Maria recently installed artwork at my school's junior high campus and I couldn't imagine working with a more professional organization. They were clear and straightforward in their communication, flexible with their scheduling, and punctual in our few encounters. The artwork is displayed with museum-quality and was thoughtfully curated to cater to our school environment. I hope to maintain our school's partnership with iPaintMyMind for many years to come.

SO MUCH FUN!
From start to finish, IPaintMyMind was a pleasure to work with. Our school now has an amazing and fun installation, and the connection we made with Evan La Ruffa was really wonderful. He brings such energy to the process, and it is just what our school needs!
THANK YOU for making Northwest Middle School's walls interesting and a warmer place for all of our students. We look forward to more opportunities to partner with IPaintMyMind in the future.

Evan from IPMM transformed creatively many walls from our old school building into an amazing Art Gallery. The idea of sharing walls has brought to our school a new connection with the arts and local artist from Logan Square and surrounding neighborhoods. We got many complements and positive feedback from visitors and stakeholders from Darwin School community. The most creative aspect of the process of sharing walls with IPMM is that Evan came multiple times to our school to just walk through the building the get a sense of the right art pieces to display on our walls. Thru the Art exhibit from IPMM Darwin School was able to enhance not just the beauty of our building but also the message of teamwork, leadership, and collaboration.

Mr. Mauricio Segovia
Darwin School, Principal

IPMM has completely changed the dynamic of one of our school's hallways from bare and lonely to vibrant and provocative! Evan and his team curated a show for us last year that dealt with the themes of community, culture, and leadership- and they completely nailed it! Our students were in awe from the time when the set of framed prints were installed and are still intrigued by the work to this day. Evan La Ruffa is one of the most talented, thoughtful, intuitive, and creative individuals I know. I highly recommend IPMM, what a great concept they bring to every and ANY situation!!!

I love IPMM. I think they take a really innovative approach to being a NFP, combining their purpose (making art accessible for all) with a genuine business model (which obviously helps drive the purpose!) Evan does a really nice job of curating a community around emerging art in the Chicago area, and looks after artists, art lovers & those 'new to art' (such as the public schools IPMM hangs art in) with a care & sincerity which is admirable.

IPMM is awesome. They are all about art and the artists. I have discovered myriads of new things through them and they have big plans in mind for the future. Very honored to have been able to contribute even a little to this great endeavor.

Evan is a champion of the arts. I’ve seen how he has grown IPaintMyMind from an idea into such a great organization and an amazing resource for artists and the art community. I am so proud to know him and to be able to contribute to IPMM’s Print Project and Shared Walls.

Ipaintmymind brought delightful artwork to our school and displayed it in a beautiful way. Students and adults have enjoyed interacting with the art - it's a conversation piece at the entryway. We love being part of ipaintmymind's program and highly recommend them to any other school.

Dedicated, & driven in their effort to achieve sustainability and work for social justice through art!

Evan & IPMM were a great addition to our school - very professional, supported our schools need, matched resources and very quickly did an install. Our students and families love the new artwork in our building! We are appreciative of IPMM and look forward to continuing our partnership.

We get many positive comments on the installation from IPMM. Evan worked with our school to find art that would connect our original building with our new annex, younger students with older, and provide a sense of international mindedness per our school mission and vision. We could not be more delighted with our A-Z international foods art! Thank you!

Evan proposed the idea to bring in photos of exotic foods to place along the wall outside our cafeteria. Our school community loved the idea. The installers were wonderful and helpful with ideas. The installment took quite a long time as a great deal of attention was placed to fine details.
It looks amazing. The paintings cover the alphabet with exotic foods - not your basic apples and hamburgers and pizza. For example, our "B" is not "Bread" or Buns". It's "Bone marrow! Yum!

What 's incredible is that this was installed free of charge; the mounting was free of charge. It has been up on our walls for months at no cost to us. IPMM provides an amazing service to schools.

This is a great example of having a great idea and seeing it actually come to life. IPMM has made art accessible to everyone, and has given everyone the opportunity to support great social causes at the same time! What could be better than that.

Evan La Ruffa & IPaintMyMind are great contributors to the local art scene. Looking forward to their continued efforts to make our world a whole lot more interesting!
