Founded by printmakers Anna Corpron and Sean Auyeung, The Working Proof seeks to promote art and social responsibility. Each print is paired with a charity of the artist's choice, to which they donate 15% of the sale of each print. Besides showcasing emerging artists and great artwork, the intent of the Working Proof is to promote a variety of charities and to expose them to new supporters through the appreciation of art and creativity. The Working Proof releases a new print once a week, on Tuesdays at 1:30 pm, EST. The Working Proof is made possible by a grant from Redeemer Presbyterian Church and their Center for Faith and Work.
