On Saturday, April 20, 2024, we made a variety of art at different stations during the six-hour day. Art-a-thoners had a great time working to live music by Kenneth Miller, William Klingelhoffer, Seraphina Perkins, Florentina Mocanu, Davia Schendel, Nadine De Franoux, and Camelia Skikos. Artists of all ages practiced drawing, painting, sculpting, collage, printmaking, and crafts. Tremendous gratitude to Core Volunteer Artists: Tom Ferraiuolo (simplyMuzing), Anna Maiorino, Priscilla Arrighi, Christine Jegan, Adisa Sefic, Matt Boris, Velvet Van Bueren, and Jennifer Spencer. Heartfelt thanks to satellite ArtSeed artist Luned Palmer, who organized her own Art-a-thon in New York.
Thank you for making possible the 16th Annual Art-a-thon!
A hearty thanks to all you sponsors, volunteers and attendees for making the 16th Annual ArtSeed Earth Week Art-a-thon another uniquely magical day! We are especially grateful to those who helped behind-the-scenes, before, during, and after the event. Spending long hours planning, monitoring, and cleaning up. To those who gathered pledges and in-kind donations from family and friends, you rock! Gifts of money, talent, and time changed the world one artist or child at a time each hour of that wonderful day – and it continues weekly this Summer, Fall and Winter!

Meet ArtSeed’s two new interns, Gloria and Linh!
Gloria L.
I am a senior at George Washington High School in San Francisco and I discovered ArtSeed through California Lawyers for the Arts. I’m an aspiring historian & documentary filmmaker with varied interests: media critique, 1870s-1970s cultural research, and international sporting leagues. I love developing my proficiency in languages such as Cantonese, Japanese, Italian, and Mandarin. Public service and education is a core value, having volunteered at museums and other cultural organizations prior to my internship at ArtSeed. I am looking forward to experimenting with various art mediums to depict historical cultural issues and social justice during ArtSeed’s Fine Arts Summer Intensive & Annual Exhibition 2024.
Linh H.
I am Linh, a rising sophomore at Lowell High School in the Fall of 2024. At school, I am a paddler for Lowell Dragon Boat, a dedicated member of the Lowell RAIDERs Challenge Team, and a somewhat devoted member of the Community Awareness Club. Besides doom-scrolling on Instagram, I like to read and play chess even though I’m not very good at it, and of course, I like to make art. I’ve always found myself holding a pencil and scribbling random things on a piece of paper for as long as I can remember. My favorite artist, at least the first one that comes to mind, is this person on Instagram under the user “zibukoshi’’, their concept is about the different parts of the human psyche and they create these interesting, very dynamic characters based on that and I think it’s just really cool. I am placed in ArtSeed as an intern thanks to California Lawyers for the Art and I am excited to learn more about the administrative side of ArtSeed and what it’s like to be in the industry as a professional in an art non-profit.
