New Community Art Board Empowers Kids to Give Back

A new community-driven art initiative, “Art for Good,” at Burnt Timber Brewing & Tavern in Wolfeboro is giving kids a way to showcase their creativity while supporting important causes. Each month, a 4 ft. x 6 ft. public bulletin board will serve as a rotating gallery where local children can donate original artwork, with proceeds benefiting a selected nonprofit.
To kick off the initiative, February’s board supports Operation Delta Dog, a nonprofit dedicated to training service dogs for veterans with PTSD and other challenges. “We encourage young artists to create pieces that reflect the mission of Operation Delta Dog and help to raise awareness while contributing to the cause,” said Burnt Timber Owner Eddie Michno.
According to Michno, his 9-year-old son, Forrest, is spearheading the new initiative. “I want my kids to understand the importance of community and giving back,” added Michno. “This project is a way to get my oldest son and his friends involved and to hopefully inspire other kids.”
At the end of the month, the artwork (any medium) will be available for purchase at just $10 per piece, with all proceeds directed to the chosen cause. To celebrate the artwork and maximize impact, an Art Show Weekend will conclude each month with $1 from every pint of beer also donated to the selected charity.
Moving forward, participating children will choose the nonprofit for each new month to further encourage leadership and engagement. “This project is about more than just art,” said Michno. “It’s a way for kids to see that their creativity has power—it can inspire, connect, and make a real difference in the community.”
