Collaborative Canvas Collection

At TOMS, we see art as an unparalleled form of expression and communication. We know that artists have a knack for sharing and spreading ideas others can’t, and we realize the power and potential held in a blank canvas. Artists can spark a dialogue or become the voice for a movement. Because of this distinct ability to influence and inform, we have always invited the art community to help us spread the TOMS One for One movement.
Recently, Incubus front man Brandon Boyd and Southern California artist Kristin Klosterman teamed up with TOMS in a Venice, California studio to create one-of-a-kind pieces of art. Channeling their collective voice, the duo transformed large canvases into their own distinct expression, which will become the material for a limited-edition collection of TOMS Shoes. TOMS hopes that the collection will inspire artists and non-artists alike to express themselves in ways that will have a positive impact on the world.
