Every low-cost raffle ticket <br />purchased enables The Art Spread to continue promoting creativity and <br />prospering lives in the Santa Ana community. The diverse range of artwork <br />available in the raffle guarantees that there's something for every art lover <br />to cherish. <br />The 'Artful Giving' event promotes art accessibility by offering low-cost <br />raffle tickets, providing everyone with the opportunity to own high -quality <br />art and support a worthy cause. In addition, anyone who brings a <br />professional article of clothing or accessory will receive one free art & <br />wellness care package. The package consists of mental health resources, <br />art supplies, and relaxation tools. <br />Equally important, the Art Raffle will provide financial stability and purpose <br />to our artists. As part of the sponsorship, the budget would allow The Art <br />Spread to purchase art pieces from artists with adversity. This would in <br />turn support artists with physical, social, and mental challenges, including <br />but not limited to wheelchair bound artists, artists with English as second <br />language, rehabilitated artists who have been convicted of felonies, artists <br />once homeless in Santa Aria, and artists who suffer from depression, <br />chronic pain conditions, anxiety, etc. <br />
