Paintings Created and Donated to Benefit Children’s Hospitals

Prize-winning artist Maxine Bloom is painting and exhibiting a collection of original works with one purpose in mind: helping children in need. Throughout the month of January 2026, every painting she displays in the Century Village East Art Gallery will be offered for sale, with one hundred percent of the proceeds donated to either St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or The Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation Special Research Project.

Each painting has been personally created by Maxine for this charitable exhibition and is priced at $250, making it possible for art lovers to both acquire original artwork and support lifesaving pediatric care. Buyers will make their donation directly to the charity of their choice, receive a tax receipt in their own name, and collect their selected artwork at the conclusion of the show.

Maxine Bloom has been an active member of the Century Village East Art Club for 14 years and is a respected, prize-winning artist within the community. Her January exhibition will be held in the CVE Art Gallery, a permanent venue located adjacent to the Clubhouse Theatre that showcases accomplished artists throughout the year.

The CVE Art Club, which has encouraged, educated, and inspired artists since 1980, proudly supports this meaningful exhibition. The club also sponsors the annual Art Expo each March, a signature event that features hundreds of artists and more than 300 works of art from across the CVE community.

Both the CVE Art Club and the benefiting children’s hospitals invite residents and guests to visit Maxine Bloom’s exhibition and thank everyone in advance for supporting this powerful combination of creativity, generosity, and compassion.
