Through powerful storytelling these pieces bring to life the reality of todays vaccines. They’ve commissioned the work of 36 artists who have created a variety of beautiful videos, sculptures and pictures that speak out on the history of vaccination the importance it holds today.

The sculpture at the top of the page called Vaccines As Love Serum, was created by famous artist Mauro Perucchetti with the message of keeping children healthy. On the website there are some great videos where the artists talk about their art and the messages they are sharing.

At Laboratory5 Inc. We bring together all elements of STEAM and tie them up into a package to promote the work each individual is doing in their fields to celebrate this work. We produce experiences so that those unfamiliar with the glorious, quirky, nerdy, geeky qualities of all areas of STEAM can be explored as an adventure to explain these fields.

Logical? Check Out Your Brain On Art

We came across this great infographic the other day and thought it would be great to share since we are on fire for all things STEAM. Are you more left-brain or right-brain? A little bit of both? Looking for more creativity to add to your Analytical? That’s what we love to do!

End Of the Year Tax Donation Idea

logo

“EVERYTHING IS FREE IT ALWAYS WILL BE” but we need your help to keep it that way! 2014 marked our 10th Anniversary providing art worthy materials for creative minds free of charge.

The Art Resource Center (ARC) helps any non-profit to facilitate their art needs.
The ARC has saved thousands of pounds of waste from going to our landfills by collecting materials. When a teacher calls and says they are a new hire but the classroom is empty we fill the shelves with art supplies. When volunteers from March of Dimes want to do a special project we help with ideas and send them away with supplies. When Head Start needs tactile fabrics and inspiration for young minds we are the ones they come to for help. When a homeless artist walks through the door we give her paints and canvas and brushes.

The ARC touches well over 20,000 lives a year and our reach into the community and around the state is growing annually.

Please consider supporting the work of the ARC. Your dollars are needed to increase our space, build a gallery for recycled art exhibits and to offer classes to the community and so that we can be self sustaining.

If everyone on in our network donated $25 we would reach our 2015 goal and fulfill our dreams.

THE ARC is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit your donation is tax deductible.

Please write your check to:
