Artful Investments: Supporting the Artist of Promise Scholarship Fund is Jaden Kyung-Moon Bauch’s '25 initiative to merge art with financial empowerment. Over 15 weeks, Jaden will create and sell over 500 4x6" original watercolor paintings, aiming to raise $5,000 for the Artist of Promise Scholarship Fund at MECA&D. This fund focuses on students who have firsthand experience with social injustice and systemic inequalities, have advocated for change within their communities, or overcame hardships with courage and determination.
With each piece priced at just $10, the project invites a broad audience to engage with art. By supporting this project, you are not only purchasing a unique work of art but also helping to challenge the 'starving artist' narrative.
Jaden's mission is to demonstrate that art can be both a passion and a pathway to economic empowerment, opening doors for emerging artists to thrive. Through Artful Investments, Jaden seeks to reframe the conversation around art and financial success, fostering a vision where artists can flourish creatively while achieving financial stability and building opportunities for future generations.
