Harvey Relief Print: Now Available Exclusively to Charity Organizations

We Will Rise Again (2017) is now available through the Print Donation Program.

Attention non-profit and charitable organizations!

The George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts presents an exclusive fundraising opportunity to other non-profit organizations. Through GRFA's Print Donation Program, we are now offering We Will Rise Again (2017).

Originally created by George Rodrigue in 2005 to raise funds for humanitarian and art organizations after Hurricane Katrina, this special edition silkscreen print was re-released to the public in the wake of Hurricane Harvey to raise funds for schools impacted by the storm. Today, this print is only available to non-profits through the Print Donation Program.

Your organization can purchase the print for $500, which is 100% refundable should it not raise at least $500 at your charity event. GRFA's Print Donation Program has helped non-profits raise millions of dollars for their missions through these exclusive George Rodrigue prints.

There are seven Rodrigue prints to choose from for your charity auction or raffle! Click here to view all available prints.

Harvey Relief Art Supplies Bring Smiles and Creativity to Classrooms

Executive Director Jacques Rodrigue shares the story of George Rodrigue's Blue Dog with students in Houston, TX.

Yesterday, 1st grade art students at Buffalo Creek Elementary received a special visit from Executive Director Jacques Rodrigue, who shared with them George Rodrigue's two children's books and led them in a sculpture activity.

Buffalo Creek Elementary in Houston, TX, is one of many schools in the area that has received $2,000 art supply kits through our Hurricane Harvey Relief efforts. In 2017, funds were raised through a special re-release of George Rodrigue's iconic "We Will Rise Again" silkscreen print.

Jacques Rodrigue shares, "We are so happy that we are able to help schools impacted by Hurricane Harvey by donating art supplies to them. Thank you to everyone in the Houston area who helped us in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina by purchasing Dad's "We Will Rise Again" Blue Dog image. And thank you to all of our collectors who stepped up in 2017 to purchase last year's re-release of the image."

Other schools have received their art supplies as well, and GRFA looks forward to awarding many more art supply kits to schools impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

Kimi White, who is an Art Teacher at Bay Colony Elementary in Dickinson, TX, shared this photo of her young students proudly holding their art supplies.

Brookside Intermediate School in Friendswood, TX, shared their excitement as boxes of supplies began to arrive at the school.

Art students at Carver Magnet High School in Houston, TX, pose in front of their new art supplies. Their teacher Laura Luna shared, "A GIANT thank you for the wonderful art supplies and products! It was truly like Christmas. Thank you of making this a wonderful start to a great New Year."
