TotalLink2 Community<\/a> is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the north suburbs of Chicago.

How Does iCanvas Work with TotalLink2 Community?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Donating Returned Prints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every quarter, iCanvas donates 70-100 returned prints to TotalLink2. Not only does this help us extend the lifetime of our prints, but it also helps us promote sustainability. These prints are covered with a special white paint, providing a clean slate for the artists at TotalLink2 to create their own masterpieces. Sparing them the need to spend their money on costly art supplies, we\u2019re honored to provide these canvases for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging Artistic Expression for All<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe that creativity and art is a beautiful thing for anyone and everyone; we love the idea of our prints being reused with these individuals\u2019 paintbrushes and artistic visions. Not only do they get to create their own piece of work, but they also get the opportunity to showcase their art in various events. We\u2019re proud and excited to see their creations, and we appreciate the chance to make an impact in our local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
