Why I started Artful Impact.

Hello!

I'm Ellie Cupp, a 21-year-old artist with a vision that extends beyond my art – to the very heart of our community here in the Quad Cities.

Artful Impact is more than just a non-profit; it's a reflection of my journey, my dreams, and the collective aspiration of every young artist seeking a place to express themselves through art.

Growing up, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of art.

That's why I started Artful Impact.

My mission is simple: to empower the underserved youth of the Quad Cities through art education and support local artists by providing accessible studio spaces.

Everyone deserves a chance to explore their creative potential regardless of background. I envision a community where art becomes a shared language that unites us all in its beauty and diversity.

Thank you for joining me on this journey! Your support, whether through volunteering, donations, or simply spreading the word.
