Shells for the NJ Shore: Update

Artists with big hearts rock!!!!

To date Bear Tavern artists have raised $2,250 being sent to rebuild schools 

on the NJ Shore. We will do another push in the spring!

It may seem like a lot or a little to you but, guess what?

We have partnered with other schools in the state and our current total is $22,390.13!

All from the sale of shell magnets and shell inspired art made by super rockin', amazing children.

Shout out to Suzanne Tiedemann, the super Art Teacher in South Brunswick, who started this initiative. I hope to meet you sometime soon!

Shells for the NJ Shore: Community Service Project

We have linked up with the Shells for the NJ Shore project to raise money to rehabilitate the Jersey Shore.
My students are spending the beginning 10 minutes of their art period designing a sea shell using marker. Parents, staff and I are coating the shells to seal the colors and adding a magnet to the backs.
We are also making wearable pins out of the small shells that have naturally pretty coloring and designs but are too small to turn into a magnet.
The magnets and pins will be sold for $5 in our community. All money raised will be given to the NJ Shore
