Creative Coalition raise funds in order to aid the
organization’s advocacy efforts to support the arts in
under funded schools.
The handbags are made of fine Italian leather and
feature sleek silver trimmed/geometric hardware and
sophisticated tassels or leather belted accents.
“I am grateful for the artistic training that I was
given during my early school years. The classrooms were
filled with supplies to encourage creativity ranging
from paint in a rainbow of colors to musical instruments
in all sizes. I hope that my contributions to The
Creative Coalition will enable future generations to
express their own artistry,” says Charlie Lapson.
