#COLORFORACAUSE!
ART SAVES LIVES AND SELF LOVE HEALS!
#COLORFORACAUSE is our ongoing nonprofit initiative. It is an initiative paired our coloring books. We wanted to raise heavy awareness in a light way. we believe coloring is deeply therapeutic and is a massive stress relief. It’s also just super fun! This is our form of art advocacy.
The U in STUK Stands for UNITY. Our first priority is creating change for underserved girls of color globally. On our campaign journey we realized that there was almost NO wide spread awareness about the severe racism and sexism that exists within the art world. The root cause is systemic, because underserved black girls are rarely even given the opportunity to even take an art class. This creates a system in which…
less than 1.2% of artworks on national US gallery walls are by black women.
We are spreading our mission to the majority in order to uplift the minority of black girls who are deeply struggling. We create art, NFTS, publications and merchandise that not only supports self love art education, but also guide conversations about race. Unity will strengthen our community. Join us!

A MESSAGE FROM BRETTE SIMS, OUR FOUNDER AND ILLUSTRATOR OF THE COLORING PAGES:
WHY SHOULD I COLOR?
By coloring in this book and sharing photos on social media you are helping us to raise awareness about racial and gender inequality within the art world and raise funds for more underserved girls of color to have access to the arts! Did you know in March 2019, a group or researchers surveyed 18 of the most respected museums in America and found:
1.2% ARTWORKS BY BLACK ARTISTS
3% ARTWORKS BY BY LATINX ARTISTS
9% ARTWORKS BY BY ASIAN ARTISTS
Inequality in the art world starts when young girls of color aren’t given any opportunities to even study art during early education. Help us fuel more underserved communities with art programing, art kits, merch, supplies and more! Let’s shift the stats together and change the world.
