Montana shop and charity organization “Petits Riens/Spullenhulp” invited Blancbec, Hell’o Monsters, Pae 86, Bue, End, Nico, Whitecat and Polak to decorate those boxes where people can give clothes they are not wearing anymore. This “Peau Neuve / Nieuw Kleedje” campaign is intended to make people conscious of the fact that more and more young adults (18-24 years old) are homeless these days.

Artists Striving To End Poverty (ASTEP
Artists Striving To End Poverty (ASTEP) uses the arts as a tool to empower young people with creativity, knowledge, and a strong sense of self-esteem, factors which help them advance their lives and communities. At ASTEP, we provide artists with opportunities to connect with global youths, allowing them to use their gifts to create meaningful and effective change for young people in need.

Art Education Research
So how do they fund their program?
And I had no idea what an amazing and extensive program they have. Collaboration with them, when a more cohesive program is set up would be very beneficial.
I found a link were you can donate to the sight and I also emailed the head of the Art Education Program's at Mural Arts and asked her a few questions about how they got started and how they were funded etc.. so we'll see if I get an email back.

The Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia
In Philadelphia opportunities for young people to participate in the arts have steadily diminished in recent years. Renewed focus on core curriculum, the pressures of high-stakes testing, and other funding priorities have left arts programs in public schools vulnerable. As a result, hundreds of schools in Philadelphia have no full-time art teacher and many of Philadelphia's youth are without positive and structured after-school activities.
The Mural Arts Program is filling this void through a variety of targeted art education programs including Big Picture, Mural Corps and ArtWorks!. These programs not only teach mural-making and other fundamental art skills, but inspire students to become artists, organizers, and leaders in their communities. Through these programs, we serve close to 2,000 youth at over 50 neighborhood sites in Philadelphia.
