Recently, there has been concern regarding when Haveners might receive their award from concluded events. Unfortunately, due to the new award system having technical issues, Art Haven is unable to send the badges automatically after an event ends. With that being said, please keep in mind that staff have to manually send out all event awards to every member that participated, which is a lot! This will take time due to the high numbers, so staff are asking Haveners to remain patient as they resolve the situation.

CHRISTMAS CHARITY

Art Haven would like to thank everyone who signed up for this year’s Christmas Charity Event! The idea of this event is to bring artists and community together to make wholesome festivities, and to celebrate the gift of giving!

In order to help others celebrate the holidays, we wished for all of Art Haven to come together and help donate money to the less fortunate. Our intention is to put many smiles on faces around the world!

Check out the event here to see who the community voted to donate the extra funds towards!

It’s crazy to think of how fast time flies. With a new year ahead of us, many want to maintain the inspiration they have for creating art! One way to keep things interesting is looking back on historical art facts, which is what Facts.net was able to provide for us. In their 12 minute long video, they managed to fit in 30 fascinating facts! Check out the video here, and start using that brilliant mind for your new masterpieces!
