David Arquette Teams Up with Colossal
In an exciting initiative aimed at sparking creativity among youths, actor and artist
David Arquette has collaborated with
Colossal, the leading name in professional fundraising, to launch a nationwide competition called
America's Most Artistic Kid. This unique campaign not only celebrates the artistic talents of children but also supports the vital work of
Blood Cancer United, an organization committed to fighting blood cancer and improving the lives of those impacted by it.
The competition welcomes young artists to showcase their creativity, with the ultimate winner set to receive an impressive
$20,000, a chance to exhibit their art at Indiana's
Minnetrista Museum, and an invitation to appear on a special episode of
The Joy of Painting hosted by
Nicholas Hankins, a Certified Bob Ross Instructor. This is truly a fantastic opportunity for any budding artist to make their mark in the art community.
Colossal is renowned for its innovative approach to fundraising through competitions that allow participants to engage meaningfully while contributing to worthy causes. This initiative is designed not just as a contest, but as a comprehensive program offering young artists a chance to hone their skills and gain exposure in the arts. Under the mentorship of Arquette and Hankins, participants will have access to exclusive virtual workshops aimed at providing guidance and inspiration.
While the competition is fundamentally an artistic endeavor, it has a powerful underpinning aimed at raising awareness and funds for Blood Cancer United. Formerly known as the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, this organization seeks to cure blood cancer and uplift the experiences of patients and their families through supportive programs. A portion of the funds raised through this competition will go towards these initiatives.
Throughout the competition, Arquette shares his artistic journey and encourages young talents to explore painting as a medium of expression. His personal involvement as a Certified Ross Instructor adds an authentic touch to the workshops, ensuring participants not only learn but also appreciate the joy of painting — a sentiment closely associated with the legendary Bob Ross.
In addition, the competition features a special recognition segment where
Nicholas Hankins will select one extraordinary artist as the
Artist's Pick. This chosen competitor will have the chance to have their work prominently displayed at the Minnetrista Museum, providing a remarkable platform to showcase their creativity.
Registration for America's Most Artistic Kid is now open on the official website:

In summary, America’s Most Artistic Kid embodies the spirit of creativity and philanthropy. Not only does it celebrate the artistic abilities of children, but it also reinforces the power of art to enact positive change in communities affected by blood cancer. Interested participants are encouraged to take this chance to shine while supporting a noble cause.
