By: AbstractHip.com Contact: Chuck Hipsher Email: chuck@abstracthip.com | cell: (515) 478-4195 Website: www.AbstractHip.com Artist Launches "$1000 Archive" to Help Build Tiny Homes for the Homeless in Bloomington Bloomington, IL May 17, 2025 – Contemporary artist and storyteller Chuck Hipsher is flipping the art world on its head with a bold new initiative: every painting in his personal archive—regardless of size or value—is now available for $1000. But there's a deeper mission behind this creative disruption. Half of every sale will be donated to Home Sweet Home Ministries, a nonprofit in Bloomington, IL currently spearheading a cause called, "The Bridge" --- a community of tiny homes to shelter the city's homeless. Construction is about to begin, with homes slated to open around October 2025. "I've always believed art is about connection," "So I'm connecting my life's work to something much bigger than me—helping others find a place to call home. After all, art lives on walls, but it can also help build them." With each painting sold, $500 goes directly towards "The Bridge" -- making every collector a direct contributor to real-world impact. A Radical Idea with Real Consequences 1. Art for $1000 – No price tiers. No gallery markup. Just honest, heartfelt work priced for accessibility. 2. 50% to Charity – Buyers know their purchase funds housing for those who need it most. 3. Limited Time – The offer runs until the fall opening of the homes—roughly through September 2025. To view available works or learn more, visit: www.AbstractHip.com Buyers pay for all shipping costs.
