Art Resources for Cause, Charity and Change


CELEBRITIES CREATE HOMEMADE ART FOR A CAUSE

Contributed by Tami Carey

What do musicians Katy Perry, Sir Paul McCartney, and Dave Grohl have in common? What about actors George Clooney, Samuel L Jackson, and Hillary Duff? Sure they're all artists in their respective fields of expertise, but they are also some of more than 600 of today's influencers who have donated original artwork to Whatever It Takes, an artwork campaign started by 21st Century Leaders Foundation.

The signed artwork is donated to Whatever It Takes for exclusive use and is applied to all kinds of products -- from clocks and t-shirts to bags and plates. These products are then sold through over 4000 retailers around the world, including Macy's, Bloomingdales and Harrods to raise funds for a variety of causes which focus on global development; things like poverty alleviation, the protection of children andenvironmental conservation. Consistent with their causes, all of their products are developed and created in line with the charity's ethical and environmental policies. And if you thought it couldn't get any better -- you can even shop without leaving your couch. A simple click on http://shop.whateverittakes.org will take you straight to their online store. (Tip: Don't miss the bed linens featuring Joss Stone's artwork or Nicole Kidman's alarm clock!)

Whatever It Takes has already raised over $3,000,000 for charity. And 21st Century Leaders Foundation seems to be successfully fulfilling it's mission to assist and encourage a generation of influencers...to raise awareness and funds for international development causes, thereby leading the way in promoting positive environmental and sustainable human development solutions.

Make A Difference! If Not You, Then Who?
All change begins with immediate problems. We encourage you to start thinking like a social entrepreneur in your own community by asking yourself these questions:

> If I could change one thing in my community, school or workplace, what would it be? Is it something that can be changed? Will it reduce pain, frustration, suffering or waste?

> Who could help you to change it?
