Read the artist's storyWe believe creative work deserves to be seen and valued. Art Beyond Walls is being built to help incarcerated artists turn paintings, drawings and handmade pieces into income, for everyday needs inside and for loved ones outside.
Every artist brings a name, a face and a personal story. Families and authorized representatives can help share the work, while Kite Creations helps present it with care.
Artists receive 84.5% of the product price. SendAKite’s 15.5% share covers the work behind every sale: product presentation and management, payment processing, operations, packing, handling, logistics and shipping. No separate shipping charge is added for destinations offered on the listing.
Our mission is to let artists focus on creating, while we manage the path from their work to a customer’s home—helping their talent support needs inside and family outside.
