	Artists are bombarded with requests to donate their art to various causes—too many to fulfill them all, despite the high ratio of artists with big hearts.		Artists are bombarded with requests to donate their art to various causes—too many to fulfill them all, despite the high ratio of artists with big hearts.
			Often these works of art are seen only for a short time by a limited audience, then auctioned under these suboptimal conditions along with other donated items.
			For charities that seek to build awareness, converting artwork into money to then spend on other efforts is incredibly inefficient compared to the awareness that artwork can generate when displayed differently.
			After all, as opposed to a gift basket or a voucher for golf lessons, a work of art has enduring utility to all who see it, not just those who win a specific auction.

	~~Often these donated works are auctioned under suboptimal conditions~~, ~~leading~~ to a ~~devaluing~~ of the ~~artists’~~ work.		Instead of donating artwork outright to the Journey Gallery (or other projects like it), artists simply lend their artwork to be displayed—just like with a museum.
