CRMS / Japan Student Exchange program.

This fine art print by John Paul Caponigro portrays autumn colors at Asticou Gardens in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Asticou Gardens is styled after a Japanese stroll garden with many traditional Japanese design features elegantly blended with the natural setting and vegetation of coastal Maine. Much like this exchange program, it is a seamless fusion of Maine and Japan.

Each fine art print is printed on an 8.5×11 inch sheet of coated archival rag paper using pigmented ink. The image area is approximately 6×7 inches, surrounded by a white border, numbered, and signed by the artist.

For information about alternate sizes or further shipping options please contact us at jpc@johnpaulcaponigro.com.

The Way We Think About Charity Is Dead Wrong – Dan Pallotta

Video, Video - TED  Comment

“Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend — not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let’s change the way we think about changing the world.

Everything the donating public has been taught about giving is dysfunctional, says AIDS Ride founder Dan Pallotta. He aims to transform the way society thinks about charity and giving and change.”
