"My deepest belief is that artists reach into the divinity of the unknown and bring to earth stories, music, dreams that many can not see.  

Those artists reach the inner-sanctum known as Elysium and bring to earth the creative connection to help others transcend suffering and ultimately heal the world.”   

Jennifer Howell’s journey into art and philanthropy began with a deep-rooted passion for creativity and a profound belief in the healing power of artistic expression.

  • “I’m amazed and impressed by all of the creative harmony orchestrated through the founder herself Jennifer Howell.”

    Shepard Fairey, renowned artist, activist and founder of Studio Number One and OBEY Clothing

  • “I consider myself very lucky to have met Jennifer Howell. She is one of those people we all aspire to be - selfless, giving and brave. The kind of person who sees all of the red tape and bureaucracy we know can be an obstacle and puts change in place. By starting The Art of Elysium, a bare to the bones, no fat well run, organization - she has been able to effect real change.”

    Patricia Arquette, Academy Award winning actress

  • "One thing I loved about talking to Jennifer Howell was that she recognised how 'charity impacts the world by impacting the artists who are the hands to make the mission happen.'"
