Review for IPaintMyMind, Chicago, IL, USA
IPaintMyMind far exceeded my original expectations when our Prek-8th grade school was first paired with this nonprofit. My assumption was that IPMM would lend us artwork for our hallways through the year, and it would beautify our hallway space. I was wrong, as the staff delivered much more than just an installation. Not only did the artwork brighten our hallway space and bring smiles, but it became a conversation piece for students and community members. I often would catch students having conversations in pairs about the artwork, or drawing scenes from the artwork during their free time. IPMM even arranged to have one of the artists come in for a Q&A with my students, explain their process, and teach a mini lesson. My students refer to this artist and their work to this day. IPMM sent curriculum materials and high resolution images that other staff members at our school could connect the artwork to corresponding units within their curriculum. An added benefit are the lovely staff members. IPMM is so easy to work with, and they are extremely professional in everything that they do. I highly recommend IPaintMyMind and will continue to do so.
