Beginning in February, which is surprising that it’s already the end of January, Light the Hoan will highlight one local artist with a local nonprofit each month for the remainder of 2021.
The artists and paired nonprofits are:
- Kelly Hammann, highlighting Imagine MKE
- Alisa Knox, highlighting We Got This
- Maggie Waldmyer, highlighting ACTS Housing
- Bailey Willis, highlighting United Community Center
- Francesca Simonite, highlighting Black Box Fund
- Chrishella Roche, highlight Urban Underground
- Hannah Tews, highlighting WI Humane Society
- Marlena Eanes, highlighting IC Stars
- Kimberly Burnett, highlighting 88Nine
- Cutesy Macabre, highlighting Islands of Brilliance
- Mene Muhhamad, highlighting Boys and Girls Club
Each artist is paired with a nonprofit partner to design a custom poster that illustrates the mission and values for the organization. Posters will be available each month for purchase on Light the Hoan’s website and artists will be awarded a $250 stipend and 10% of the profit from their design during the first year.
For an entire month, each featured organization’s mission will be highlighted on Light the Hoan’s website, social media and through media partnerships. Light the Hoan will donate a percentage of that month’s bulb donation proceeds back to the nonprofit.
