Support Sustainable Art & Empower Artists TODAY!

Help fund our eco-friendly art studio and process facility to employ artists & reduce waste.

Did you know that 70,000,000 gallons of wall paint are discarded in the U.S. every year?
Paint is made of 37% plastic, and recent studies have shown that paint is responsible for 58% of micro plastics in our oceans.
This staggering amount of waste not only pollutes our environment but also releases harmful toxins into our soil and water. We believe there’s a better way, and that’s why we are raising funds for a sustainable art studio and process facility that will turn this discarded paint into meaningful art, reducing waste and creating opportunities for talented artists.
Our goal is to build a facility where we collect leftover paint from construction and interior design sites, repurpose it, and use it to create sun-dried paint canvases. These canvases will be transformed into powerful works of art that address themes like self-growth, duality, and environmental sustainability. Beyond the traditional canvas, we envision a wide range of applications for this recycled paint, allowing us to turn waste into innovative creations that serve both art and function.

What We Can Create:
Once we recover and process the paint, we can create:
Wall Divisions: Artistic partitions for interior spaces that are not only functional but visually striking.
Printed Banners: Custom designs for businesses looking for eco-friendly advertising materials.
Window Installations: Unique installations for fashion retailers and homes, combining sustainability with high design.
Decorative Art: Art pieces for restaurants, hotels, and residential spaces that elevate aesthetics while supporting environmental consciousness.
Sustainable Solutions: Prototyping solutions to partner with eco-friendly companies, utilizing recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.
Prototyping for Curtains, Rugs, and Upholstery: We are experimenting with this material to create curtains, area rugs, and testing its durability for furniture upholstery and fashion accessories.

With your support, we can bring these ideas to life, pushing the boundaries of what recycled materials can achieve in art, design, and beyond.

How Your Donation Helps:
Studio Expenses: Your donation will help cover the costs of operating our art studio, where artists will be able to explore new ideas and techniques using sustainable materials.
Process Facility: We are building a dedicated facility to collect, organize, and transform discarded paint, ensuring that no usable material goes to waste.
Employment for Artists: By donating, you will be directly supporting the employment of local artists, providing them with the space, tools, and resources they need to create while promoting eco-friendly practices.
Environmental Impact: Every dollar you contribute helps us remove toxic waste from our environment and turn it into something beautiful and lasting.

“At the heart of our mission is the belief that art can be a force for change, not only in how we view the world but in how we care for it. By contributing to this campaign, you’re not just supporting an art project—you’re joining a movement to reduce waste, protect the environment, and create a sustainable future for art and artists alike.” - Paolo iarussi | Founder at Poetry Of I

How You Can Help:
Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal of a fully sustainable studio and process facility. Whether you contribute financially or share our mission with others, your support helps us continue to make art that matters. Together, we can inspire change, one paint canvas at a time.

Thank you for helping us make a difference.
Let’s turn waste into art and create a lasting impact on both the environment and the artistic community.
