Brush with Art recently launched its Heart of Gold project with hopes to raise money for galleries throughout the Tri-Cities communities. The project is aimed to assist the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Cambridge Galleries, as well as the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery with their annual funding as well as contribute to the endowment grant which is designated for visual arts in the Waterloo region.

Brush with Art works with local jewellers and community members to collect any gold, silver, platinum and plated items. These items often include old or broken jewellery, such as a single earring or old class rings, and filings from many jewellery stores. Brush with Art also collects pieces that do not include jewellery, for example, a silver spoon. Once collected, the filings and pieces are sold to a refiner. Silver, gold and platinum scraps collected from manufacturing or production plants can also be refined into new items. The money generated from these sales is then donated to the galleries in the local community, from Brush with Art.

For more information, or to donate a broken piece of jewellery or an old collectible, please contact us via the information found on the "About Us" page, located on this website.
