OUR MISSION
|
|
Art in Service of Humanity.
|
ArtAID helps those in need through the creation and distribution of public service artworks and installations intended to inspire and elevate the human spirit. Since the attack on the World Trade Center, ArtAID has developed a unique relief program of "healing art" that began by honoring heroic uniformed officers and others that answered the call on September 11th, including firefighters, police, paramedics, emergency service personnel, recovery workers and volunteers. For those most affected by this tragedy, ArtAID sponsored the free distribution of a beautiful series of Angel Memorials such as the Firefighters Angel , the NYPD Guardian Angel, and the EMS Healing Angel. ArtAID also installed and maintained the Ground Zero Memorial, the first installation of its kind to memorialize the names of all the victims of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
ArtAID also commissioned an artwork honoring the shared experience of Oklahoma City and New York, which was presented to the Oklahoma City National Memorial and recently sponsored the creation of a beautiful Icon of Archangel Michael for St. Nicolas Church, a Greek Orthodox Church that was destroyed when the World Trade Center collapsed. After the second anniversary of September 11, ArtAID continues to work on behalf of the victims, family members, rescue workers and survivors.
ArtAID recently sponsored the distribution of the Guardian Angel Memorials for Detectives James V. Nemorin and Rodney J. Andrews, killed in the line of duty on March 10th, 2003 and more recently the Steven Rucker Firefighters Angel, in tribute to the only firefighter killed fighting the tragic wildfires in California.
ArtAID provided banners and remembrance cards for the NYPD ESU Ronny Kloepfer Annual fundraiser. And provided artworks for the National EMS Memorial Services in Roanoke, Virginia.
On the second Anniversary of September 11 ArtAID provided a series of beautiful banners of the ESU Guardian Angel for all the quarters of the NYPD Emergency Services Units and prints for all members of this elite squad of highly trained uniformed officers dedicated to our safety. In remembrance of all lost on September 11, ArtAID provided "Never Forget" prints to immediate families visiting Ground Zero on the Second Anniversary, and distributed thousands of prints through the Family Room at the LMDC at One Liberty Plaza.
Incorporated in the State of New York as a arts organization, the works you view on this website are not commercially available anywhere, and only available through our free distribution programs or by supporting this effort through our membership program. PLEASE SUPPORT ARTAID NOW.
