Ben's "Aspire to Print" Fund

Ben's "Aspire to Print "Fund was formed to help endure the memory and spirit of Ben Tiniakoff who worked many years in the screen print industry. Ben worked behind the press, manufacturing equipment and fulfillinging screen printing supplies at Ryonet. Ben was also an aspiring artist and print maker of his own work. Ben's death in a tragic car accident on February 6th at the age of  27 has been a shock and heartbreaking experience to those who knew him. Our hope is that his memory and love for printmaking will live on through this fund. Our goal is to help aspiring artists, printmakers, or someone simply struggling to find their path, have the means to find it.  This goal of this fund will be to give its recipients a way to obtain the financial means and resources to learn, grow, produce and bring their print to life so that Ben’s life and love will forever live through it.

"Aspire to Print" Applicants may request assistance from the fund   to better their life circumstances via  printing through education, resources, supplies or equipment.
