our work
We facilitate art programs that engage your community in social change, support your organization in raising funds, create awareness for social causes, and help celebrate special milestones. We do this because we believe the universal language of art is relevant, understandable, and uplifting. Explore a selected group of our final projects below and follow us on social to see what we're currently working on!
Forward College Counseling
At the grand opening of their newest location, Forward College Counseling invited their staff and consultants to a charitable art-making event to honor their new home.
The result of this event was this beautiful tile table in the theme of reading that they donated to Tree House Books.
DanceWorks Studios
In honor of their 20th Anniversary, DanceWorks Studios hosted a variety of art parties in honor of St. Joseph's’ Children Hospital to raise awareness and funds for the amazing children in need of medical care. These art parties led to a monetary donation as well as the creation of 200 tiles that are now installed at both St. Joseph's’ Children Hospital and DanceWorks Studios which inspire patients, families, and the community through the healing joy found within dance.
Sobel & Co.
Sobel & Co, a New Jersey-based accounting firm, encourages their employees to participate in their philanthropic, giving culture. They wanted to host an art-making event for their summer interns that would benefit the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
They used mixed media to collage fruits and vegetable imagery that we transformed into a beautiful tile installation that now lives at the Food Bank. Sobel's interns and other employees were able to present the mural at a day of service at the Food Bank.
Florence Fuller
ArtWare worked with the Florence Fuller Child Development Center to create a donor recognition wall for the entryway of their school.
Four hundred hearts were designed by the preschoolers who attend Florence Fuller, creating a colorful, dynamic mural made up of original artwork.
As donations are made, a heart with the donor's name is added to honor that donor and their generous contribution
Rona Barret Foundation
Rona Barrett, a former Gossip Columnist, reinvented herself as a nonprofit pioneer by creating affordable senior housing in California called Golden Inn & Village.
We worked with Rona to create a stunning tile mural to thank her donors in her brand's colors. We chose an innovate subway tile to display the sentimental messages.
We have completed two murals for the Rona Barrett Foundation and will continue to expand with them, honoring their donors with tile installations in each of their properties
Lady Savant Foundation
The Lady Savant Foundation is an organization committed to building a school somewhere in the world every year. In 2017, they built the Savant Foundation School in Cambodia and ArtWare had the honor of installing five tile murals in the school, as well as help distribute over one thousand books that we co-published with the foundation.
We had an enriching experience visiting the school, engaging with the students and creating artwork for a future tile installation. We interviewed staff and students about their school experience, in order to identify how we could provide continued support. We fell in love with Cambodia and will be returning in 2019.

Miami Shores Elementary School
Stephanie - the PTA President had a vision of creating a legacy tile wall ? one that celebrates the students of Miami Shores Elementary
and freezes this very special moment in time.
Parents were asked to submit photos and sentiments about their child which Stephanie embellished with icons
and imagery creating a custom image for each resulting in a very personalized tribute to
each student that is tied together by a custom framework.
This project will continue on this year and hopefully for years to come, as not only was
it a visual success but a financial fundraiser for the school as well.
