We need YOU. 💛

Every summer, we pour our hearts (and a whole lot of beer) into one final push — because every single tip we collect goes straight toward changing a kid's life. Not "helps fund a program." Not "goes toward overhead." Goes to a kid, directly, because of you.

This year that push is Market Days Street Festival, August 7–9, and we're looking for a crew of fun, easygoing people to help run our beer tent. No experience needed — you'll take orders, crack open a few cans, and serve with a smile. That's it.

In exchange, you get: ☀️ A shift outside in the summer sun 🎶 Live music the whole time 🤝 A tent full of new friends 💛 The very real feeling of knowing your 5 hours just changed a kid's summer

Shifts are ~5 hours. Pick one day or all three. Bring a friend. This is our last fundraiser of the summer, and we want to end it big.

DM Autumn Pippenburg or Art of Giving Foundation to grab your shift — spots are going fast. 🌐 www.artofgivingfoundation.org

Art and Intelligence

When people hear the term IQ, they often think of complex equations, scientific formulas, or hours spent studying textbooks.

But intelligence is not defined by how well someone can solve algebra or memorize information.

Psychologists measure IQ through a range of cognitive abilities, including logic, pattern recognition, memory, spatial awareness, and processing speed.

One of the most fascinating tools used in psychology—especially with young children—is the Human Figure Drawing (HFD) assessment. In this method, psychologists evaluate a child’s drawing of a person to observe developmental indicators such as proportion, detail, spatial relationships, and structure. These elements can provide insight into cognitive development and intellectual maturity, even before a child has fully developed verbal skills.

Think about that for a moment.

Before many children can clearly explain their thoughts with words, they can express them through art.

This raises an important question:How do we measure cognitive potential in a child who has never been given access to creativity, artistic exploration, or visual expression?

Art is not simply decoration or entertainment. It is one of the earliest languages of human intelligence.

When children draw, paint, and create, they are practicing the very cognitive skills used to measure intelligence: recognizing patterns, organizing visual information, translating ideas into structure, and making complex decisions about form, space, and meaning.

In other words, art is not separate from intelligence development—it is part of it.

Providing children with access to art is not a luxury.It is an investment in how they learn to think.

It was an honor to work with SWIFT Elementary School and the International Women’s Association on this culturally diverse and inclusive mural. We loved the school’s desire to include all races, ethnicities, activities and culture and found the perfect artist to install this beautiful work of art.

“Swift has many flags hanging along the main halls representing all the global cultures that make up the student community. When I saw the mural wall was right below a Guatemalan flag, I could not believe the odds. So cool to see there are fellow Guatemalans in attendance! Soccer is a very popular sport at the school so one of the kids in the painting is a young Guatemalan pursuing their next big goal 🇬🇹” Luis Colindres Art
