This is a list of dream projects. Some of them have been completed thanks to hours and dollars and caring individuals and corporations that have lent helping hands, in-kind contributions, and good old-fashioned greenbacks ($$$) to help push a project through. Our gratitude is genuine. No one makes a profit on the dream projects. NO ONE. The donations have always gone directly for the actual costs/materials for a project. Donate $1.00- $100,000.00 and help people of all ages connect to a most basic human need – to learn to express themselves through art experiences that will help them: grow as individuals, teach them tolerance for different ideas and beliefs, and help them to connect to art and others around the globe through this shared experience using PuzzleArt Connect to Creativity concepts tested around the world for the past two decades.
We thank you in advance for any and all contributions. Please check with your tax advisor for deduction details.
DREAM PROJECTS
A-Accomplished O-Ongoing W-Wishful Thinking
RIGHT NOW:
1) Two kids Connect to Creativity free workshops (W) at the Long Island Children's Museum in Garden City, NY for April 21st, 2011. We need:

—videographer / photographer-half day Sunday, April 21st 10:45am-2:45pm
2) Software developer/ apps developer for iphone or ipad (W) for Connect to Community project – email for details but basically we need someone to help us put interactive PuzzleArt on the internet so kids around the world can connect to art and each other through a shared experience using the PuzzleArt creativity concepts and Build a Global Community through Creativity. We have already reached thousands of kids in dozens of countries with actual hands-on experiences but this will enlarge our reach to teach kids to think outside the box and solve problems in a creative and unique way. It also helps people become more tolerant and accepting of others' ideas through the universal language of abstract art. PuzzleArt Builds Global Community as it Builds Creativity.
