Founded in 2023 in Miami, New Canvases is a nonprofit that brings original, framed art to families starting out after homelessness. Each piece is thoughtfully alongside the shelters — turning empty walls into something meaningful, hopeful, and lasting.

DIRECT IMPACT

Bob Truman’s artistic identity lies at the crossroads of raw urban energy and the timeless elegance of fine art. His work seamlessly blends the bold, unfiltered vibrance of street art with the intricate techniques and depth found in classical aesthetics. Each piece is a narrative—a story told through spray can streaks, textured brushstrokes, and the fusion of contemporary street culture with historic influences.

It is such a beautiful initiative and truly makes an impact

Since launching in 2023, New Canvases has delivered over 100 original framed artworks to families across three major shelter programs in Miami. Each piece is selected in collaboration with case managers, based on the family's preferences, culture, or story. Framed prints are professionally produced, packed, and hand-delivered — ensuring they arrive ready to hang in a new space that finally feels like home.
