About
About Us
The EddieArt Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering communities through creative expression using art and music.
Founded in honour of Eddie, a young boy with autism, we provide free opportunities for anyone who wants to learn more about art and mindfulness. Our mission is to create opportunities for individuals to be seen and celebrated through artistic expression.
EddieArt’s approach is unique in that it combines art therapy, community engagement, and fundraising in a way that not only provides a platform for artistic expression but also allows individuals to have a tangible impact by selling their art. This empowers them with both creative freedom and an active role in the sustainability of the programs.
Our Story
Eddie's Memory
Ten years ago, we lost Eddie, a young boy with autism who was almost entirely non-verbal. Despite the challenges he faced in communicating with words, he found a profound way to express himself through art. His drawings, vibrant and full of emotion, became his voice, telling stories that words alone could not.
In honour of his memory, we created the EddieArt Foundation. Our mission is to empower others like him by providing opportunities to explore their creativity and find their own voices. We are committed to helping others experience the same sense of fulfilment and connection that Eddie discovered through his art, ensuring that their talent is seen, heard, and celebrated.
