Art for a Cause: Desenio x The Art Therapy Project
We are thrilled to announce Art for a Cause, a collection of new prints that will help to raise money for a mental health charity. As a company of art-lovers, we are well aware of the therapeutic potential of both making art and surrounding yourself with creativity. For Art for a Cause, a percentage from every purchase made goes towards supporting The Art Therapy Project, a NYC-based non-profit organisation. “Art has the power to heal, connect, and give voice to what words sometimes can’t express. That’s why this project means so much to us.” says Annica Walin, Executive Creative Director.
New prints from 30+ artists The collection features new prints from 30+ artists from around the world. Spanning photography, still life and figurative work, the interpretations of the theme have varied widely, but for every artist involved, the benefit of speaking more openly about mental health is deeply felt.
Many have arrived at creativity as an outlet following their own mental health struggles, while others are glad to have their art help raise money for such a vital cause.
Sissan Richart, a Danish artist with work in the collection says: “Creating art is, for me, and many creative people, the best way to clear your mind.”
While Katherine Puritscher says “For me, art is almost like meditation. It's an activity that allows me to switch off from the daily pressures and concentrate instead on being creative and present.”

We’re proud to collaborate with The Art Therapy Project and contribute to the important work they do every day. This is a cause close to our hearts — and we hope it touches yours too.”
