Product Overview
About the Artwork:
Averi picked out words that reminded him of adoption. The heart holds all of these words because that is where he keeps his feelings -- love being the foundation of a family
About the Artist:
Averi is a 7-year-old boy who was adopted in November 2022. Averi wants other kids to know that there are ups and downs when moving into a new home, but you will always be taken care of by your adoptive family.
Each Fostering Creativity shirt has been inspired by youth art submission and creatively adapted for t-shirt presentation. To view the originals and hear from the artists community members can attend the Showcase Event on September 28th, 2023.
Fostering Creativity is a public awareness campaign that seeks to empower those who have experienced foster care to share their perspective with the world. It is the voices of those who have actually experienced foster care and adoption that are the most important. Fostering Creativity aims to empower these youth to raise awareness about foster care through the power of art.
Right now, there are more than 8,000 youth in Massachusetts foster care and hundreds of them have no permanent family. Their voices are often unheard. We want to change that. We hope you will join us #SpeakUpforAdoption by supporting the creativity and unique voices of these kids.
