ABOUT ESPP's FOUNDERS
Jenny Kendler and Molly Schafer met during their graduate studies at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where they bonded over nature-geekery, including a studious interest in animals, wild places and natural pre-history. Since 2005, Kendler and Schafer have been collaborating on projects relating to art and the environment: in the process creating installations, video and drawings works, as well as co-managing a temporary gallery space in Chicago’s West Loop. Their collaborative and individual works have been shown internationally, including at Exit Art (NYC), The Yeosu Art Festival (Korea), Claremorris Gallery (Dublin), The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), artpoint Miami, and Lollapalooza 2007.
Their newest venture to date is The Endangered Species Print Project. ESPP was born --- after a years of showing their art about the Natural World in the Gallery World --- from Kendler and Schafer’s collective desire to operate outside this white-wall system and use their artistic talents to directly support conservation efforts and biodiversity on Planet Earth. Kendler and Schafer aimed to craft a project which would could use art-making to positively impact life for all its inhabitants.
ESPP is a labor of love for Kendler and Schafer, who manage all aspects of the project and creation of the original artwork, along with their day-jobs and individual artistic practices. In late 2009 the project grew to include guest artists who began to approach ESPP, wanting to participate and sponsor a species of their own. Moving into 2011, ESPP plans to actively seek grants to help fund its work, as well as engaging in multiple exhibitions around the country, and expanding its mission to include many more species and organizations.
ESPP is sponsored by OtherPeoplesPixels, which allows 100% of each print's purchase price to go directly to its partner organization.
If you would also like to help support The Endangered Species Print Project we will make every dollar count and use your funds where they are needed most!
