The Opportunity
Having a sense of community and togetherness is an essential part of any organization. People are more likely to thrive when they feel like their work is contributing to something meaningful. And they are more likely to be productive when they have a good rapport with their colleagues.
The problem is, people seem to be more disconnected than ever before. According to a 2021 study of 600 companies, 85% of employees are not engaged in the workplace. This can create problems for the organization:
​
-
96% of executives say poor collaboration and ineffective communication are leading issues in the workplace.
-
86% of executives cite ineffective communication as a major source of productivity failures.
-
87% of professionals worldwide feel stuck and crave a creative outlet.

We Can
Humans are reminded of our differences every day. In fact, we have so many differences that we often forget the few things we all have in common. One of those things is our ability to create and gather meaning from colors, shapes, and sounds. Remarkably, we can communicate emotion and a message through a simple work of art.
​
As we get older, we are led to believe that being an artist is a gift reserved for a chosen few. But art is not some precious thing that requires natural-born talent - we are all capable of making it. In fact, it is no more unique to us than breathing.
​
You won’t live forever, but with a little courage and a little paint, you can create something that will.
