 Thanks to your generosity, EMPACT Northwest was able to field one of the first international NGO response teams in Tokyo within 72 hours of Japan's catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. Additionally, EMPACT was the first American NGO to reach the devastated northern region and was able to establish a joint emergency operations center with the Japanese Red Cross and California based NGO, SHINE/CDRS. If you would like to participate, there are two ways to make a difference by purchasing a "Matsushima Bay" print by Yoshiko Yamamoto. Option 1: Buy an UNFRAMED print for $30 Order an unframed print directly from The Arts and Crafts Press ALL the proceeds from this print ($30/print) will go towards the volunteer organization, EMPACT Northwest.

Framing Stories
 Children love framing their artwork at The Framer's Workshop. Magda (left) chose this black ready-made frame and a white mat for her seascape. "I framed my pastel drawing to make my bedroom more interesting and colorful," she says. "I made my drawing at ArtWorks Fine Arts Studio in San Francisco. I loved working with Elizabeth. It was a lot of fun!" Please share your framing story with us and we'll add you to our Framing Stories page!
