Company Description

Art should be a part of every child’s development.

The Company was established as in 2004 and for more than a decade has served the founders’ vision to provide an enriching experience for children while also generating much needed funds for schools. Artwise provides parents a previously unmet need to preserve, share and celebrate their children’s artwork online. Since launching its go-to-market model in 2006, the Company has brought its program to over 600 schools, positively impacted over 250,000 elementary school students, generated over 280,000 pieces of artwork and raised more than $1 million for schools. In keeping with its original, though slightly evolved, mission, the Company’s focus on student art promotes the value of art in the classroom and as a part of every child’s life. Artwise.com is a simple, easy-to-use interface that provides parents a way to digitize, preserve and share their children’s artwork in online galleries, in social media and on personalized products that feature their children’s art. A portion of every product sold goes back to that child’s school. In addition to its online business, Artwise publishes a visually-stunning line of greeting cards sold in retail stores that benefits schools. Now consumers can choose to purchase products that support an important cause and increase opportunities that help children learn. Artwise is a member of the Memory Ventures portfolio of businesses.
