What Levée is
I
The Gallery

Original work by teen artists from across the country. Browse pieces, inquire directly with the artist, and connect. Every work carries a cause chosen by the one who made it.

II
The 3D Exhibition

Walk through our virtual gallery rooms — warm walls, considered lighting, art that breathes — from anywhere in the world. Curated seasonally via Art Steps. No ticket required.

III
The Cause

Each artist names their charity. Each inquiry supports it. Buying here is a double act of beauty — you take something home, and someone's life changes. That's the Levée model.

How it works
01
Artist Applies

Teen artists submit their work — painting, sculpture, metalsmithing, photography, mixed media. Every medium welcome. Every artist considered.

02
Work is Listed

Accepted work is photographed, written up, and listed in the gallery with the artist's chosen charity displayed alongside their piece.

03
Buyer Inquires

Interested buyers click "Inquire" and connect directly with the artist via email. Levée steps aside — the relationship is between artist and collector.

04
Impact Is Made

The artist donates to their chosen cause. The buyer receives original art. A life somewhere changes. That's the Levée model — simple, clean, powerful.

"At nine years old, I started donating 25% of every sale from my small business to Mercy Ships. That taught me something I've never forgotten: young people don't just make things — we change things."

Our Story

Built by a teen who has been changing the world since he was nine years old.

At nine, he launched Lev.co — selling handmade bracelets and candles and donating 25% of every sale to Mercy Ships. A passionate donor from the start, he went on to win a Scholastic Gold Key in 9th grade for his metalsmithing work. He built Levée so every teen artist can know what it feels like to create something beautiful and change a life.
