Blundstone Footwear is proud to work with and support charities from coast to coast.

Blundstone: Art to Boot is a unique fundraising event. Blundstone Footwear will donate 16 pairs of their iconic boots to be re-shaped, re-formed, and re-designed by a Nova Scotian artist, musician, or media personality. These works of art are auctioned off, proceeds to benefit the Learning Disabilities Association of Nova Scotia (LDANS). Blundstone: Art to Boot originated as “Boot It Up” in Toronto, by an organization called Sketch. In February, LDANS adapted the event to suit a Maritime audience and saw great success in its inaugural year. The event has since been re-branded as Art to Boot and moved to October to coincide with Sketch’s event in Toronto and Learning Disabilities Awareness Month.
