During one year of trial and error from 2013-2014, AidCurrent artist Matt Beard was able to use his artwork to raise $11,264.05 for various nonprofits and great causes in his community. Encouraged by the results and jazzed by the good vibes of seeing his art do so much good in the world, he began the long hard task of retooling the whole concept and laying the growth-ready groundwork to expand the platform and include more artists and position the project to do even more to make the world a better place. The downtime was longer than he'd hoped for, but he's excited to finally get things rolling again.
