It Takes A Village

Applied Arts sent out a request for your "life during Covid-19" stories. Here is the first in our series.  

Chairman Ting's Carson Ting has created a limited edition print that showcases the nightly 7 pm ovation for Vancouver's healthcare heroes. It Takes A Village is a collaboration that includes The Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Hemlock Printers who generously donated all prints, plus the donated time and expertise of new production company Kindred & Scout
 
Within 2.5 days, $100,000  was raised for the Vancouver Food Bank - who recieve 100% of the proceeds. The initiative has been covered by CTV, Global News, TSN, The Province, Daily Hive, and CKNW, and the response has been astonishing. Fans of It Takes A Village have extended well beyond Western Canada to Germany, Hong Kong and California.

Fun facts: Ryan Reynolds, Steve Nash, Seth Rogen, Dr Bonnie Henry and Nigel Howard are included in the illustration. Both Reynold and  Nash have jumped in on Twitter for that special celeb push.
