And I'd like to introduce you to the Cause and Affect Gallery in Fenton, Michigan. It's a gallery with a mission and it's a mission worth doing. This diptych is one of the newer paintings I delivered there recently. Every quarter Cause and Affect gives a percentage of it's income to a different charity.
The owner, Ann Anglim, started the gallery to fill a need. She wanted to find space where a friend who is differently abled could take a class in silversmithing. I like that term, differently abled.
Ann says "The gallery is accessible to all and our classroom space is adaptable for people of differing needs. Inclusion of all is very important to us. The gallery name speaks to what we do. We take various causes and want to have an affect in the greater community. This is done by donating a portion of all of our sales to non-profits. The donations are done on a quarterly basis and we have a list of non-profits that we choose from."
In addition to a gallery hosting many different Michigan artists working in a variety of media Cause and Affect offers a number of workshops in its studio space which is accessible to those who are differently abled.
