FreshArt NYC: The mission of fresh art, a non-profit organization, is to provide expanded artistic, personal development, and entrepreneurial opportunities to New York City artists with special needs. We are also dedicated to enhancing public awareness of these artists' talents and concerns, their agencies' work, and on the use of art as a tool for healing, growth, and positive change. (Quoted from their website.)
I'm not sure how sock monkeys became the iconic symbol of this group, but never the less they have been industriously recycling donated sample socks into funny, lumpy toys for the past five years. I started volunteering in August and have made five monkeys, may I introduce the latest creation... I call him The Migraine.
