A Beautiful Idea: Artists Changing the World

March 15, 2010 Adam Walker Cleaveland

There is a new art-for-charity site and community called A Beautiful Idea put together by Evie Shaffer. She describes the purpose for the site in the following way:

Giving artists the chance to create for a cause. Giving everyone the chance to support charity by purchasing art. It’s a beautiful idea, and we want you to be a part of it.

How It Works

  1. Etsy sellers, independent sellers and artists create a unique product to list and sell in their store, with 100% of the sale of that item going to charity. This can be ongoing, or a one-time deal. Your choice.
  2. Once a sale is made, you are responsible for donating the funds to ABI’s donation center.
  3. At the end of every month, ABI will donate the funds given to the chosen charity and give a report on our blog. Every 6 months (or once our monetary goal is hit), a new charity or cause will be selected.

3 Easy Steps for Artists to Join

  1. Just fill out this form to join the network – http://beautifulidea.evie-s.com/blog/sign-up-form
  2. Get to work creating, and listing your unique product(s) for our big push by March 15th.
  3. Donate 100% of your item(s) cost to ABI’s donation center – http://beautifulidea.us/donate.html

3 Benefits

  1. Artists have a way to create work for a greater purpose.
  2. Consumers are given the opportunity to buy a unique product that supports a cause.
  3. Charities are given the proceeds to help their mission.

The Potential
This movement has terrific potential. If only 1% of Etsy.com’s current 200,000+ sellers joined ABI and contributed $20 each month, we would raise $40,000 dollars each month! Think of the unprecedented change that artists could make in the world.
