Art Mart Celebrates 10th Anniversary at Prospect Location by Giving Back to CU Special Recreation

Art Mart, a local café, bakery, deli, and artisan goods gift shop, is celebrating its 10th anniversary at its current location at 1705 S Prospect Ave, Champaign, on Thursday, February 5. To give back to the community on this occasion, the store will be donating 10% of February 5 sales to CU Special Recreation.

CU Special Recreation is a cooperative agreement with the Champaign and Urbana Park Districts and provides therapeutic recreation and leisure opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. The generous donation from Art Mart will help further CU Special Recreation’s mission to close recreation gaps in the Champaign-Urbana community.  

“We’re so excited to give something back to CU Special Rec! It’s such a great program benefiting some of our community’s most important members,” said Brian McKay, owner of Art Mart. “Our son, Davis, loves his time there with all of the wonderful volunteers and other members!”

“CU Special Recreation is truly grateful for Art Mart’s generosity,” said Christina Mott, CU Special Recreation Program Manager. “We are excited for the community to celebrate their shop while also contributing to the work we do.”

Patrons interested in celebrating Art Mart’s anniversary and supporting CU Special Recreation can visit Art Mart on February 5, and purchase from the shop’s vast selection, including soups, sandwiches, coffees, teas, wines, desserts, kitchenware, toys, and much more.
