Art Can Change Everything  
Art can build up, or tear down; it can raise hope or trigger devastation. It communicates truth, or spreads lies. But can art really change the world? Without acting on it, the change that art points us towards is lost. Art itself cannot change the world, but art can change people. And people can change the world! The Buy Art Not Kids Art Auction will celebrate the connection between art and its call-to-action by showcasing ‘art that inspires’. – Buy Art Not Kids

I have to admit that when it comes to my Little One’s art, that I am a hoarder. It is very hard for my to not put every single piece of paper that my Little One creates on in a memory box. From her first scratches, to her more recent pieces of art, I have it all. I even tend to put the date on the back of my Little One’s pieces of art so that we can remember how old she was when she did them. I love them all. They always make me smile. I even keep copies of her digital creations!
