Spread Your Wings begins with Community Arts Day: Participants gather in a joyful, creative, daytime event, painting individual “feathers” from different materials to be integrated into professionally completed Angel Wing art. Final art is auctioned off at a second event/fundraising gala.

Imagine the power of worldwide Angel Wing making with Spread Your Wings new, online integration. For the first time, cloud-based platforms like Zoom make it possible for kids, hospitals and communities worldwide to participate in this inspirational event. Elizabeth Bryan-Jacobs will lead facilitators across the globe in painting feathers with the kids that are shared digitally and incorporated into professionally completed Angel Wing art to be installed in any public venue.

• Feather templates are shared electronically with kids through schools, communities, hospitals, etc.
• A series of ZOOM meetings explain the project to facilitators, teachers and child life specialists
• Facilitators photograph feathers/groups of feathers and sent electronically to Bryan-Jacobs
• Unique donor mechanism allows for “feathers” to be sponsored by donors or corporations
• Feathers are printed on canvas and cut out. They are assembled and professionally completed as fine art
• Final wings are shipped and installed in their final location

Possibilities include engaging celebrities and world luminaries in feather creation, Angel Wings that incorporate corporate branding, double sided wings made from various media that suspend from the ceiling, and the inclusion of live, feather-painting events.
