The Art of Gratitude: Giving Back with Gallery500 - November 2025
The Art of Gratitude: Giving Back with Gallery500
As the season of gratitude arrives, Gallery500 celebrates the many ways art helps us pause, reflect, and connect. Creativity offers a powerful way to express thankfulness — for our community, our shared stories, and the beauty that surrounds us every day.
Art invites us to slow down, to see the world with fresh eyes, and to find joy in color, texture, and form. This November, we’re reminded that gratitude isn’t only a feeling — it’s an act of connection. Gallery500 is not only giving back to our community this season, but also invites you to share in the season of gratitude.
Giving Back Through Art
At Gallery500, we believe gratitude and generosity go hand in hand. This season, we’re honored to support several community initiatives that celebrate the power of creativity and connection.
Maddie’s Mission: Strike Out the Stigma
We’re proud to sponsor the community mural at Youth Emotional Support’s Maddie’s Mission: Strike Out the Stigma charity softball tournament. Guests will have the chance to pick up a brush and help create a collaborative masterpiece that celebrates hope and healing.
One lucky participant will even take home the finished painting through our community raffle — a meaningful reminder that when we create together, we build lasting bonds.
Gallery500 will also showcase local artists’ work during the event, highlighting the incredible talent that makes our region so vibrant.
Holiday Toy Drive
In the spirit of giving, Gallery500 will also be collecting toys for the Florida Women’s Arts Association’s Toy Drive benefiting the Domestic Abuse Council of Volusia County.
We invite you to drop off a new, unwrapped toy, books, game or art supplies for children under the age of 18. Your contribution will help bring a moment of joy to local families this holiday season.
