It's All About the Kids and Art

Welcome to the Charles Surendorf II Art Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to inspiring aspiring young artists in America's high schools through exhibits, workshops, and events at high schools around the country, using the original art of Charles F. Surendorf II as the platform to educate, while introducing students to Charlie's unique block carving technique.
