36 page coloring book with the art of 15 local artists. Outreach project to bring original art to the forefront of our community.
WE ARE HERE TO INSPIRE CHILDREN'S CREATIVITY WHILE MERGING LOCAL ARTISTS, LOCAL SCHOOLS, AND OUR COMMUNITY.
WeMerge Magazine is an independent free quarterly South Florida arts and entertainment magazine with distribution throughout the tri-county area (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach). WeMerge Magazine focuses on giving publicity and exposure to artists of all genres, painters, musicians, poets, etc. www.WeMerge.com
Our goal with Kickstarter is to raise funds to publish a coloring book featuring the original artwork of local artists. We have also selected 15 amazing artists from the local area to participate in this project. They will have their art featured in the coloring book and a short bio about them. Each book will be 36 pages and will be on a thick white paper which holds up nice to colored pencils, crayons, and markers. The outer cover will have a thicker and glossier paper to help hold up against normal wear and tear. We are printing 5,000 copies of this one of a kind coloring book.
This project will help to show support, entertain, and inspire local kids and our community, so we are sure the project will have no problem raising the money needed to print. Each artist is donating their designs and the money raised for the project will be used to print the coloring book.

FAQ
-
The coloring book is 8.5x11 which is the regular size of a coloring book. Its also printed on beautiful white paper which makes the colors more vibrant.
-
We are going to select a few different schools in 3 different counties to distribute the coloring books to. We hopefully will be able to raise enough money to create and print a second version, so more schools can enjoy local art.
-
Since the coloring book is 36 pages and has a harder cover then the inside pages, our printer quoted us at $4, 486.00. After talking with a couple other local printers and even printers throughout the country, we found this to be the best rate. So we thank our friends at Vision Printing in Boca Raton for helping with our printing needs.
