Spreading Holiday Cheer Through Community, Celebration & Giving
Every December, the Art Opening Minds Charity Foundation brings together artists, supporters, and the community to celebrate the holiday season through creativity and compassion. Our annual 12 Bars of Christmas Charity Crawl & Toy Drive invites everyone to join in the fun, share artful holiday cheer, and give back by donating toys to children in need. Together, we turn moments of joy and artistic expression into meaningful acts of kindness that brighten lives.
👉 Next Event: December 12–13, 2025
🎁 Goal: Collect 750+ toys for families in need
Our Mission
The Art Opening Minds Charity Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to using art as a catalyst for compassion, creativity, and community connection. What began as a local initiative to inspire change through artistic expression has grown into a powerful movement that supports families and individuals through art-driven charitable programs and partnerships.
Why We Do It
We believe that art has the power to open minds, heal hearts, and bring people together. By combining creativity with charity, we strengthen communities and create meaningful opportunities for support and self-expression. Through our Holiday Toy Drive and community art programs, we aim to spread joy, encourage empathy, and make the world a more colorful, caring place.
