ABOUT BASEL BUDDIES Basel Buddies is a charitable organization that aims to blend the lines between art and philanthropy. Inspired by Miami’s thriving art scene, sisters-in-law Manoela and Tori Burstyn set out to raise funds to encourage and empower underprivileged youth through art. They partner with local and world-renowned artists to give children from their community the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces. The youth in their community will benefit through the program by developing skills leading to confidence, creativity and success. The power of art goes far beyond someone’s talent. Research shows that when troubled children and teens acquire creative outlets, they are simultaneously receiving the opportunity to explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, learn how to cope with stress, boost their self-esteem, and expand their social skills.
