Glitterbombers 2022 Art Show!

Nothing brings me more joy than waking up in the morning and knowing that we have inspired kids all over the world to create art – and those that teach them.

Many of our members are homeschoolers who create art at the dining table or outside. They may teach their child while another one runs around in the background, with an uncapped Sharpie.

Others are art teachers who have had a school year that is like none other, as they’ve worked to be a safe and fun place for students, and have dealt with on and off school time, teaching virtually, teaching from a cart, and kids who have never had an opportunity to have an art class at all.

But what every single one has in common, is a creative gift to share with the world. Some may not even find themselves creative at all – but I know it’s there.

And when I get to look at all of these beautiful pieces that have been submitted, it brings me such joy. I want to recognize all of these incredible kids, students, moms, dads, art teachers, care givers, and so many more for not only making it through another year, but for showing the world all of the joy and beauty in it.

The world is a better place because of all of you – and it has been our absolute joy to serve you on your journey in it.

I hope you enjoy looking through all of these beautiful creations – and I hope it inspires you to sit down and draw and to create. And if you’d like to join us this August in our Glitterbombers Membership – we would absolutely love to welcome you inside.
