Who is behind Art for the Earth?

HEYA

HEYA" means "room" in Japanese. And Toyota has built an online room and thrown open the doors to you, folks who represent some of the leading trend spotters and creators of their generation. HEYA is a place to share and collaborate on ideas. An online conversation that leads to new thinking and projects—with each other, and with Toyota.

This is a HEYA project, sponsored and encouraged by all the wonderful and creative folks in the HEYA community. We, the organizers, are the three that took the project from theory to practice, and we are all so excited to do so!

The Creator/Boss/Thread Initiator

Malena came up with this mad idea to make a vector art show that will benefit the world! The concept began small and vague, and thanks to all of the Heya members, ideas evolved into what we now call Art for the Earth. She kept the thread running, organized the group, secured the funding and will run the entire show and subsequent sales. A recent graphic design graduate with a passion for art and saving the planet in her own little way. See her portfolio at malenalou.com
