In 2014, I introduced “Fused Grants” to the Burlington Community as an innovative strategic approach to local giving. The goal was to create community by blending business, culture, non-profit, and art. It worked! Together we created food trucks, busses, vans, silos, graffiti walls, recycling containers, and portals. These projects had the benefit of stimulating the creative economy while visually inspiring community connection and raising the mission and awareness of the non-profit.

In 2013, I started Dealer.com’s “Art Walls” program in an effort to celebrate local artists, stimulate the creative economy and inspire innovative thinking in the workplace. The program facilitated over $182,000 of art sales, with 100% going directly back to the artists. Below is a list of artists I have been fortunate to work with.
