About ‘The Poster Cause Project’:

The Poster Cause Project is an online effort to sell and promote artwork by underground artists in a very limited form all while donating 50% of all profits to charities and organizations in need.

Each month we will release a very limited print by a different artist with 50% of profits going to a specific charity or organization chosen by us or the artist.

In the beginning, the idea was simple. Support art. Support those in need. All in one place.

Each poster/print is released in limited quantities of 25 and 50% of all the proceeds will be donated toward a different charity each month.  On December 15th, they will officially launch their website with their first print by eBoy, ‘The Super Bronco Battle’ poster.  Proceeds for the the December print will be donated toward the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children.  Next month’s print available on January 1st, will be by Sket-One, with proceeds going toward the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  Several other artists are in the pipeline for this charitable print release, like PON and Shane Jessup.  Check out the future releases with their charities here.  You can do some good while purchasing a print from your favorite artists.
