Art to Heart Collective hand-delivers original, handmade art cards to seniors living in nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, and hospice facilities. A lot of our recipients go weeks without receiving a single piece of mail. Your card could be the most meaningful thing they hold all week — made by real hands, sent with real heart.
Your Style. Your Medium. Your Call.
No gatekeeping here — all skill levels and styles are welcome. We accept:
- Watercolor paintings
- Pen & ink drawings
- Pencil sketches
- Collage & mixed media
- Hand-lettered poems or uplifting quotes
- Gouache, acrylic, or pastel work
A Few Simple Ground Rules
- Original and handmade only — no prints or reproductions
- Keep it uplifting, peaceful, or nature-inspired — something anyone would love to receive
- Clean, sturdy paper or card stock only — it needs to survive the mail
- If we can't use a piece, we return it to you on our dime. No stress, no questions.
What to Make & What You Earn
| Size | Payment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4" × 6" | $5.00 per piece | Standard size (preferred) |
| 5" × 7" | $7.00 per piece | Premium / Bright Heart tier |
