Olympus Visionary Maki Kawakita has teamed up with Jondo, an online community that connects art enthusiasts with artists, for the Creative Mind [Hopeful Child] campaign to raise money for the relief efforts of the worst natural disaster to ever strike Japan.
A unique collection of paintings and photographic fine art from eleven participating artists have been curated into a collection of prints that will be made available for sale from 4.11 – 4.25. Jondo will donate all printing in conjunction with the donated imagery from participating artists, with all proceeds from the print sales going directly to Save the Children.

A Few words from Maki Kawakita:
I have chosen 11 talented artists to be a part of this meaningful project, and together with Jenny we are expecting to sell prints and curate an online show on JONDO.
The Theme will be Creative Mind [Hopeful Child], because I wanted to have a idea that can be universally understood regardless of race, culture, and society.
It is my great hope that this fundraising project will not only help Japan’s Tsunami disaster victims but to put artists together to make a difference in the world by using our unique talents.
Sincerely,
Maki Kawakita
