Imagine it as your personal art school in a box, carefully crafted to inspire and empower creators of all levels. We go beyond merely providing tools and materials—we deliver an immersive experience. Art in a Box is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization that was founded in September, 2005 by artist Valentina DuBasky and a four person Board of Directors. Art in a Box partners with local communities around the world that are facing crisis situations due to war, public health emergencies or natural disasters, or that are disadvantaged by poverty, and assists in recovery and empowerment through art. Our art programs empower children and teenagers at risk—often the least visible, most vulnerable, and poorest people—to find the dignity and beauty of their own self expression. We have conducted art projects in Guatemala, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Russia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Conclusion From drawing and crafts to knitting and painting, there’s a cool monthly art box with your name on it.Note: The publishing info states that the book is due out 28th Nov, but it appears to currently be available from online retailers; (so this review is being published early). This is definitely more of an art book than a craft book. I wanted something that would inspire me and show me the different sort of shadow boxes I could make as craft projects. It didn't give me that, but if you're already a fan of shadow boxes as visual art (or a maker of them), then this could be useful as it explains techniques for creating boxes and the display elements inside them. The focus on art over craft (by which I mean craft projects that a person would do for fun at home, rather than a person who practices a professional craft) is clear in the gallery at the end, all of which are the sort of thing you'd see in a gallery rather than things you would generally want to make yourself.
