We are extremely excited to announce that Big Fun Arts is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions in behalf of Big Fun Arts may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Founders, Abigail E. Rudner and Laura F. Hilliger are excited about fundraising. At this crucial point in the life of Big Fun Arts, monies are needed to produce new content, organize events, keep up with the costs of technologies and stem the cost of administrative tasks.

Big Fun Arts has thousands of ideas for new projects, events and techniques. At the moment cofounder Abigail E. Rudner is getting into the Chicago arts educational community through her Master's program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Abigail is representing Big Fun Arts, alongside of other organizations, in events, classes and projects in an effort to get the word out and show why Big Fun Arts is necessary in every community.

In addition, we have recently launched a Facebook fan page. We're blogging on a regular basis, posting pictures and videos and instigating discussions about art, artists, social media, education and more. If you haven't already become a fan on Facebook, please do so.

Big Fun Art's mission surrounds the principle that “art making and art education provide individuals and communities with the creative thinking tools needed for everyday life”, so you can feel good about donating to this venture. Did we mention that donations are now tax deductible!?

We would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read our press releases and newsletters, joining the Big Fun Arts website and becoming a Facebook fan. In addition, we'd like to thank those of you who decide to donate. Without your generous support, Big Fun Arts would not be able to do the educational work that it does.

Big Fun Arts is a company founded by a few people who really enjoy making art and wanted to share that enjoyment with the public at large. As a group of educators, the founders became inspired by the deprecation of art education and felt the need to share something that's all around, but is, more and more, becoming secondary to other, no less important, educational endeavors. Big Fun Arts seeks to reiterate the importance of art and creativity in daily life.

As a collaborative of minds, Big Fun Arts is looking to share creative know how with the community at large. Big Fun Arts aspires to spread art and creativity using multimedia and community oriented events. Big Fun Arts is confident that it can engage children and adults alike with artistic and creative project tutorials offered using the latest technology. Big Fun Arts intends to enlighten the public to a vast assortment of online videos, images, tutorials and samples. In addition, as a company with a focus on the world, Big Fun Arts intends to offer service in as many languages as possible starting with English and expanding immediately to Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German.

Big Fun Arts sees itself at the beginning of a long and rewarding philanthropic international career. It's not really a business, more of a movement.

Overall, Big Fun Arts can be characterized as a high-profile educational and artistic distributor and quality manufacturer of arts and crafts related templates, materials and ideas.
