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

Bloomington, IL currently spearheading a cause called, "The Bridge" --- a community of

to open around October 2025. "I've always believed art is about connection," says Hipsher.

"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.
