Supporting Young Aspiring Artists: Ali Kay for The Art of Elysium

Award-winning designer Ali Kay, together with Anne de Barres, founders of Keep Me, the sexiest and most comfortable brand of loungewear, believe in helping fellow artists learn more about their craft.

As an artist herself, Ali supports The Art of Elysium, an organization encouraging working actors, artists, and musicians to voluntarily dedicate time and talent to children fighting serious medical conditions. By dedicating her time to this cause, the organization is able to conduct artistic workshops for acting, art, comedy, fashion, radio, music, creative writing, and songwriting for the children.

The dynamic designer duo writes to The Art of Elysium, “Our personal lives are more complete and fulfilling when we know we are dedicating a substantial amount of time to helping others. It also helps us keep things in a healthier perspective.”

Ali Kay encourages others to volunteer. “If you have the time, resources, and flexibility to volunteer – and to have a positive impact on the lives of people in need – then it’s one of the most rewarding ways to benefit both you and those with whom you are working. It helps you appreciate all the beautiful things in life.” Ali adds that she and Anne formerly never offered any items with graphics before, but their work with The Art of Elysium has inspired them to introduce graphic collections.
