Artful Investments
Supporting the Artist of Promise Scholarship Fund
About the Project
Artful Investments: Supporting the Artist of Promise Scholarship Fund is Jaden Kyung-Moon Bauch's initiative to bridge art and financial empowerment. Over 15 weeks, Jaden will create and sell over 500 original watercolor paintings with the goal of raising $5,000 for the Artist of Promise Scholarship Fund at MECA&D, which supports aspiring artists in their education. Each painting is priced at just $10, making art accessible to a broad audience. By supporting this project, you are not only purchasing a unique work of art, but also helping to challenge the 'starving artist' narrative. Jaden's mission is to prove that art can be both a passion and a path to economic empowerment, creating opportunities for young artists to thrive.
