Calling All New Hampshire Artists!

CASA of New Hampshire is looking for New Hampshire artists, photographers or children to submit artwork for our annual greeting card fundraiser.

Are you a New Hampshire artist looking for great exposure or a way to help a good cause? Do you have a child who loves to draw?

Every year Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Hampshire receives beautiful artwork donated by the state’s artists, photographers and children to be featured on our popular greeting cards. These cards are promoted and sold to local residents and businesses. All proceeds support CASA of NH’s vital work to recruit, train and support volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children throughout the state.

Our greeting cards are professionally printed and measure 4.5” x 6”. With nearly 20,000 cards printed annually, CASA of NH’s greeting card fundraiser gives local artists significant exposure.

Last year, more than 450 volunteers advocated for more than 1,000 New Hampshire children. CASA of NH is currently able to provide volunteer advocates for 82 percent of abuse and neglect cases in the state. Our goal is to provide an advocate for every single child in need. The annual greeting card sale is a unique way for artists to support the children in their community.

We hope you will consider contributing your talents to advance CASA of NH’s mission. The deadline for art submission is May 31, 2014. Mail to: CASA Cards, CASA of NH, P.O. Box 1327, Manchester, NH 03105 or e-mail your .pdf file today. More details about the submission process are available on CASA of New Hampshire's website.
