My Nonprofit Reviews

The Art of Elysium celebrates 20 years in August! I am so honored to be part of this organization that focusses on empowering those in the midst of challenge and/or crisis by connecting artists to communities of need. I have seen first hand the healing powers that creativity brings to those that need it most and how artists who use their creativity in service, too are changed. I'm so excited about all that the future holds as artists truly have the power to change the world through art!

The Art of Elysium is not only a non-profit organization, it is a full-circle movement that empowers both individuals in communities of need and artists who generously volunteer their time and talents.
The launch of Elysium Bandini Studios has created unprecedented opportunities for artists and communities to come together despite their current challenges and/or crisis. It has been an absolute honor to be a part of an organization that continues to change the face of philanthropy through the healing power of art.

It has been my honor to be a part of the growth and impact of this organization since 2012. From medically fragile children, elders and our recent expansion to homeless communities, it is our mission to heal the world through art. By connecting inspired artists to differing challenged communities through out Los Angeles and New York, we are able to facilitate the creative exploration and liberation of communities in crisis. Proudly serving approximately 43,000 individuals in 2014, it is our intention to continue to extend our reach to veteran's hospitals and prisons in the near future. Whilst it is an honor to watch the joy that creativity brings to the communities we proudly serve, it is equally gratifying to see the fulfillment that our artists experience by giving away their talents so generously and freely. I am extremely excited about our future and look forward to being a part of the creative solution.
