Officially Created in early 2022, Hattas Gives Back is an initiative to give back to our community and environment.
COMMUNITY
From live auction paintings to interactive murals for non-profit organizations, Hattas has long been a part of the philanthropic community. We are firm believers in the power of art and how it can be used to strengthen communities and even drive change. Hattas Gives Back is our promise to our community to continually find ways to donate our time and resources to the people and causes that need it the most.
SUSTAINABILITY
Hattas Gives Back is taking steps to limit the amount of waste we produce every day by developing our first-ever recycling program! Not only are we creating a company handbook on recycling in the studio and on-site, but we are also getting creative with our leftover materials! Rather than discard materials that we no longer use, we are going to be donating all salvageable items to artists in need. We are also planning our new up-cycled art auction coming in late 2022! All proceeds will be donated.
COUNT ME IN!
