ABOUT OUR SPONSOR
Inka, Inc.
Inka is proud to be the presenter for the Top
of Georgia Plein Air Festival at Hamilton Gardens creating a scholarship to be awarded annually to a student pursuing a degree in the Visual Arts.
Inka, Inc .was started in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Two friends, Karin and Inge, felt compelled to help the children
of Towns County, GA and Clay County, NC. These children were dependent on their schools for clothing and food and with
the closing of schools due to the pandemic, those resources were no longer available.
Karin and Inge used their knowledge and experience of design to create decorative garden objects sourced from thrift stores
and recycled items. These art pieces were
sold in local stores, at yard sales and privately to fund clothing and food purchases and distributed to those in need. Inka originally worked closely with CASA, REACH, SAFE
and Family Connections.
Inka has expanded its reach since inception and has evolved to stay current serving populations with medical needs as well as hospice patient care.
Inka is a 501(c)3 non profit,
