The Whiteout
The Whiteout is an initiative that uses art as a means to end our throwaway culture. The rescue begins with collecting rejects from thrift stores, yard sales and flea markets. We repair, prime, paint and turn them into desirable pieces of art with original pen and ink illustrations. Hundreds of these art pieces have already been adopted.
