Welcome to Artella's Birthday Party!


On October 29, Artella was 2 YEARS OLD! The very first Articulation Art-Splash was sent 10-29-2002 (take a look at it, here!) It was sent to 11 people.

2 years later, the Artella community consists of over 15,000 people who are connected to the Artella circle in one way or another, and the Artella community continues to grow every single day.

Thank YOU so much for being a part of Artella! This is YOUR birthday, too!
