79 Moons From Flickr - 51 Visible by Penelope Umbrico

Good day collectors! It's Sara, writing from Colorado on a crisp and sparkly snowy morning. Team 20x200 is scattered around the globe this week, enjoying some extended time home and away. But we haven't forgotten about you—we never do! For those who are back to the day-to-day, I bring a way to keep that warm and fuzzy feeling of the season with you. After all of the giving and getting of gifts, you begin to realize it's the giving that makes you feel good, right?

We think so! And, over the course of the last couple years, we've had the honor of working with several non-profit organizations that are doing invaluable work to support the arts, artists and creativity in our communities to create the benefit editions I've outlined below. Proceeds from these editions go to support The Art Shanty Projects, Blind Spot, SFJAZZ, 826NYC, BAMart, Creative Commons, RADIUS Books, Aperture, the Portrait Machine Project, Handmade Nation and NURTUREart. We've been delighted to support each and every one of these nonprofits but certainly couldn't do it without you, or without the artists who worked to create the editions. A special thanks goes to Tema Stauffer, Mike + Doug Starn, Mark Ulriksen, Jane Mount, Jason Polan, Greg Lindquist, Matt Jones, Michael Lundgren, Penelope Umbrico, Jill Bliss and Mike Estabrook.

We usually pair our benefit editions with a regular edition, since — let's face it — artists are most worthy of our support as well. You can be reminded of your generous deed so long as these prints hang on your walls:

For each edition above, I've linked to Jen's newsletter so you can read a little about what each of these organizations does and why we love them so much. As always, there are also details about the making of the prints—these editions were created especially for 20x200 and these organizations. Jen'll be back at the regular time on Wednesday with a look back on the *entire* year!
