ABOUT A CASA JOSEF PORTRAIT PROJECT
This is a fundraiser for the eight young teenage girls who have lived at Casa Josef their whole entire lives. And unlike most other fundraisers started in the past, we're doing this one together.
That's right. We want to draw your face in exchange for some help. So snap a selfie, but this time feel better that it's for a good cause: helping Casa Josef stay the Great Eight’s home. Obviously, while it's nice to draw a portrait of you, we're really trying to raise money for Casa Josef. So please don't just send us a selfie. Anything donated over $100 is a portrait drawn and delivered to you.
Now, not all the girls are in art class. But we'll all learn together along the way. Please keep this in mind—we're budding artists. It might not be perfection, but that's what makes art, art.
The coolest thing, though, is this connection we get through drawing portraits. We might not know who you are, but beyond being recipients of your donation, we get to draw your face. We get to draw what's most unique about you and makes you you to the rest of us: your face. So while we're busy shading the arch of your eyebrows or adding freckles to your nose, we're also thinking that this very person thought of us.
HOW DO YOU GET YOUR PORTRAIT DRAWN?
WHEN WILL I GET MY PORTRAIT?
After your donation has been received (remember, it has to be $100 or more), you'll get a confirmation email from me asking for all the necessary info we need to mail out your portrait when it's finished. We're hoping you won't have to wait longer than a few weeks—but it really depends how many portraits we're drawing. We want the sides of our hands to be black from all the portraits we're drawing. In any case, I'll follow up with you.
SPREADING THE WORD
Our goal is to draw 80 portraits and so to be able to draw this many, we need the word to get out. Posting about our campaign on social media like on Facebook or Instagram is a pretty solid way to get others to join in. Make sure you hashtag: #casajosefportraitproject
Also, if you want to take it a step further, make your profile picture our portrait of you. It's a good conversation starter.
