Two of Smallville’s female lead stars have banded together to champion the cause of struggling artists. Allison Mack, who plays Chloe Sullivan, and Kristin Kreuk, who essays the role of Lana Lang, have opened a new online store called Juicy Peach.
The Smallville actresses intend to use Juicy Peach as an outlet for selling their own artistic creations alongside those produced by fans. All proceeds from the sale of any item will be transformed into $1,000 grants which the two will then send out to struggling artists from all over the country. With this effort, Kreuk and Mack hope to promote artistic and creative expression and possibly help bring more artists like themselves to achieve some semblance of the recognition and success they now enjoy.
"Juicy Peach is a not-for-profit gallery and store born as a way to utilize art to support the creation of more art,” Allison Mack wrote on her official blog. “We are dedicated to harnessing our success and abilities to create a community of support so our contemporaries will have the opportunity to do the same. Basically, we are selling stuff so other people can make and sell more stuff!"
For her part, Kristin Kreuk explained the idea behind turning any profit into the $1,000 grant.
"Artists who receive this grant will be creating authentic, unique, and innovative work in any of the following fine art fields: writing, performing, and visual arts, including film. Juicy Peach supports and encourages the brave act of authenticity in the pursuit of skilled professional artistry. Part of being human is to encounter and work through adversity. As an artist, there are times when adversity feels like a massive concrete wall directly in front of you, reaching just beyond where you could feasibly leap on your own. Juicy Peach is part of helping you find a way through that big, giant concrete wall."
