Callan is an exceptional artist, and thanks to Angelboyart.org, he is able to have his artwork displayed, and make a profit doing what he loves.
Angel Boy Art is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to exploring the myriad of ways art can benefit children with special differences and their families.
The foundation has three main goals:
1. Help children with special differences flourish, communicate, and express themselves through art.
2. Raise money for children with special differences and their families by selling their art.
3. Increase public awareness about children with special differences, and break down the stigmas surrounding children with special differences.

“Angel Boy Art has been such a blessing! We have finally found a vocation that encompasses all of Evan’s talents! It has been a rewarding journey for me to see Evan grow into a published artist!” Huenink commented. “Evan has a hard time parting with his artwork, so Lynae (Evan’s mom) and I explained to him one day what Angel Boy Art was all about, hoping to get a better idea of whether or not he would be interested in submitting his artwork. He was skeptical at first, but things really turned around when we told him it was going to be like ‘Evan’s YouTube.’”
