We’re proud to share this commissioned piece created for the Richard L. and Diane M. Block Foundation!

Made by over a dozen Hope Studios artists, it features a mix of materials like crayons, painted fabric, wood, beads, and more, then sealed in resin.

Our Hope Studios team had the honor of presenting and installing it last week. Huge thanks to the Block Foundation for their continued support of Hope Studios—we’re so grateful!
