Let’s Share a Smile!

Let’s Share a Smile is a communal coloring project initiated in Miami, FL by the nonprofit ArtCares for Kids, Miami Meditation Center, and Talking Off the Wall because everyone can benefit from art and a smile. Our vision is to give everyone an opportunity to create, color, post, and share a coloring page.

Create: Everyone is invited to design a page with the theme “Let’s Share a Smile”. Design your page with a black marker(s) on white copy paper (8.5 x 11), and then upload your design here

Color and Share: Feel free to select your favorite image below. You can download it in PNG to print or use on your tablet. Color it, post it, or pass it on. And, don’t forget to tag it #LetsShareASmile

Our goal is to share millions of smiles, one smile at a time, especially during challenging times like these. Studies have shown that smiling is beneficial to our mind and body because it increases dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin, which is a natural way of dealing with stress and strengthening the immune system.

Thank you to the Society of American Registered Architects for your support!

The Society of American Registered Architects (SARA) has selected ArtCares for Kids to be the recipient of our “Art in the Community Award” this year. As an adjunct to our design awards program, this community service award is being given to your organization for your outstanding dedication to the community through the use of the arts as a tool for healing.

On Saturday night, October 20, 2018, SARA will be holding our Celebration of Architecture and Design at the Perez Art Museum in Miami, FL. SARA is an organization of architectural professionals—It’s a little bit different from your typical professional association. SARA was founded in 1956 by maverick architect Wilfred Gregson FARA, and it has survived and thrived for over six decades since. There are active chapters and councils throughout the country, supporting the national organization. All groups of professionals ‘punching above their weight’, with much of the membership active instead of just paying dues. Learn more here.

Thank you for your support!

Studies have shown that coloring helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation by calming the amygdala, the part of the brain related to our fear/stress response. Coloring also stimulates the parts of the brain responsible for creativity and logic.
