Color Your Year

   A Community Coloring Calendar Fundraiser

What Is Color Your Year?

Color Your Year is a community-driven calendar fundraiser created by Just Add Creative, a nonprofit dedicated to making creativity accessible to all.

​

Our coloring calendar will feature original line-art illustrations by local artists. The calendar will be sold as a fundraiser to support Just Add Creative’s free art kits and creative programs serving children, veterans, seniors, and community partners.

​

The calendar is designed to be interactive — not just viewed, but colored, shared, and enjoyed throughout the year.

Who Is This For?

Color Your Year is intended for:

​

  • Adult artists (18+) living or working in South Florida

  • Artists working in any medium that translates well to bold, clean line art

  • Emerging and established artists interested in community-based creative projects​

​

How Does It Work?

  • Artists will be invited to submit original artwork that can be adapted into a coloring-page format.

  • A total of 14 artists will be selected for inclusion in the printed calendar. 

  • To celebrate both community voices and artistic mentorship, one calendar month will feature a pre-invited guest artist. All remaining months will be selected through the open call and review process.

  • All submitted artwork that meets the guidelines may later be featured in spotlight opportunities.

​

Participation Guidelines & Forms

Before submitting artwork, please review the following documents. These help ensure clarity, fairness, and transparency for all participating artists and partner organizations.

Why We’re Doing This

At Just Add Creative, we believe creativity builds connection, dignity, and resilience.

​

Color Your Year supports our mission by:

​

  • Raising funds to provide free art kits to underserved communities

  • Amplifying local artists and their voices

  • Offering accessible art experiences that invite participation, not just observation

​

Coloring is one of the most inclusive creative activities — it crosses age, ability, and experience levels. This initiative turns art into a shared community experience while directly supporting creative access for others.
