Artist! Speaker! Advocate! College Student! Employee! Alex Haunty is an artist with a big heart to love people, paint happiness, and bring life to everyone around him. While living with a cognitive disability, Alex uses his unique challenges as a springboard to achieve his dreams and has become a source of inspiration for many. Known for his bright whimsical colors, Alex paints originals using acrylic on canvas that are then printed as giclee’ prints, posters, and cards. With the proceeds from his art sales, Alex donates a significant portion to his nonprofit, Alex Haunty’s Theater and Arts Fund, Inc., to buy tickets for people with disabilities to see Broadway shows. In 2015, Alex received the Outstanding Young Philanthropist Award from the Greater Madison Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals WI.
