Supporting a Cause We Can All Get Behind

All proceeds will support the Joy for Seniors initiative by Artly World Nonprofit. An annual tradition now in its third year, Joy for Seniors celebrates Austin seniors by showcasing their original works of art in an annual exhibition attended by friends, family, and community members.

It's about more than the artwork...It's a public platform for isolated seniors to feel seen and heard, in a world where they are often left feeling alone and invisible.
