OUR BOARD
#TwitterArtExhibit utilizes social media and public engagement to generate income for charities and nonprofit organizations. In the past, #TwitterArtExhibit has generated funds for a library suffering from deep funding cuts to purchase much-needed children’s books, for an abused women’s shelter seeking to improve the lives of the families they serve, and for an arts organization mentoring underprivileged young adults in preparation for careers in the visual arts.

This provides artists with new exhibition opportunities, new audiences and benefactors, and appeals to art enthusiasts all over the world.

It’s fun!
WHO WE ARE
-
Twitter Art Exhibit is an annual art event that utilizes social media and public engagement to support charities and nonprofit organizations while promoting our TAE family of artists.
-
Until 2019, 100% of the proceeds from each sale went to TAE's annual beneficiary. Due to the high overhead costs to keep the organization running, Twitter Art Exhibit now earns a 20% commission, allowing the TAE team of volunteers to repeat the event annually. The event was initially started in Norway in 2010 by artist David Sandum.
-
Social media plays a significant role in Twitter Art Exhibit. We tweet, share, seed, and promote our artists to thank them for their participation and to make each event a huge success.

UNYA's GOAL
UNYA has a philanthropic goal of $6 million to build the Native Youth Centre.
REALIZING THEIR VISION
The Native Youth Centre is opening doors not only for Indigenous youth, but for the whole community. This project presents an exciting opportunity for us all to take meaningful steps on the path to reconciliation. Every contribution we receive will help us create a community of caring in support of Indigenous youth.
THEIR AIM
UNYA sees 26,000 youth visits annually. They have played a transformational role in the lives of many Indigenous youth in Vancouver, but there is so much more they wish to do. By increasing the capacity through the Native Youth Centre, they expect to double the number of Indigenous youth they are able to serve.
