Small Art From The Heart (SAFTH) International Art Exhibit Is Seeking Sponsorships

June 13, 2012 - PRLog -- We are proud to announce the 1st annual Small Art From The Heart (SAFTH) International Art Exhibition!  This exhibit featuring ACEO small scale artworks will be held at the newly built Stream building in Newaygo, Michigan on August 11th through September 2nd, 2012.  SAFTH will attract and showcase the unique talents of children, novice and professional artists from over 38 countries and 30 states with approx. 2,000 pieces of art (1,200 are from children).  Our website is www.SAFTH.com

ACEO cards are a fun way to collect art from artists all over the world at a fraction of the cost for larger pieces. Each card is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" as the size of a baseball card, which makes it easy to collect in display cases, store in albums or mat and frame.

We would like to offer you the opportunity to be a part of this exceptional event.  Sponsorship of the 2012 SAFTH International Art Exhibit provides a great marketing prospect for your company.  In addition to approximately 2,000 pieces of small scale artworks, there will be a large visitor presence and media attention.  This is a great chance for your company to gain a positive association with an international level event that promotes youth participation and benefits children in need. The 22 day event will attract an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 exhibit visitors and an estimated 10,000 to 50,000 on-line website visitors.

Positive Youth Inspiration
We are providing educational outreach to schools and children ages 5 and up around the world.  We focus efforts on youth participation, finding alternative ways to interest young people in positive related activities.  Art Generates a Love of Learning and Openness to New Ideas. Art develops a willingness to explore what has not existed before. Art teaches risk-taking and being open to possibilities. Art allows one to grow from making mistakes. Kids whose creativity is nurtured are curious and inspired to learn more.

Who We Are
We are Newaygo County Prevention of Child Abuse (PCA) - a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.  Our event is hosted solely with the intention of providing a quality event for the community and introducing and exposing others to cultural diversity through art to benefit children “at risk” of child abuse and neglect.
