I had been digging through some non-profits and came across Free Arts, which is an organization that "recruits, trains and places volunteers to work hands-on with victims of abuse." http://www.freearts.org/ The organization has chapters in New York, California, Arizona, Minnesota and Oregon. https://www.melissadata.com/lookups/np.asp?zip=free+arts
Going through their different instagram accounts I came accross this pic, http://archive.is/PFA67 - which has a painting of a pedo spiral and triangle. I knew this alone wasn't suspect enough to write this post so did a little more researching and found out that Free Arts actually had the pedo swirl as their logo up until about 2014. Here is pic of their logo, http://www.mnartists.org/content/executive-director - Here is a pic of a mentor with a child and you can also see the pedo swirl logo. https://www.instagram.com/p/ZGILDMP6kA/?taken-by=freeartsmn - Here is larger pic of their logo, http://www.mnartists.org/content/executive-director
One of the sponsors of the NYC chapter is GQ writer Glenn Obrien. http://www.freeartsnyc.org/glenn-obrien-inspires-free-arts-youth/ Here is a pic of him wearing a hat with a pedo swirl. https://www.instagram.com/p/BLewwZOhWlE/?taken-by=lordrochester. Glenn obrien is close friends with Jerry Saltz https://www.instagram.com/p/BD4aiGAvlfF/?taken-by=lordrochester&hl=en - Jerry Saltz likes to post art like this:

One of the mentors for Free Arts is Richard Phillips https://www.instagram.com/p/YclPKeF0eT/ - He also has artwork that would be concerning to a parent. Especially one working "Hands-On" with at-risk children. http://www.artproductionfund.org/shop/richard-phillips-scout-prop-art. Here are some more provocative art pieces from him http://whitehotmagazine.com/articles/phillips-has-lot-going-on/2984.
Another artist is Robert Pruitt, who if you scroll through his instragram, is obsessed with Pandas, which keeps coming up with alot of our pedogate research. https://www.instagram.com/p/BMjNz9jjq3Y/ - Here he is mentoring kids at Free Arts Event for the Brant Foundation. He is drawing glitter pandas with the children. https://www.instagram.com/p/8ThIN2l0Wj/?taken-by=freeartsnyc. Heres a pic of Robert Pruitt butt naked covering his penis with a panda, and hanging out with Jerry Satlz, who we mentioned earlier.
It looks like a man named Richard Prince had hosted a Free Arts event for Glenn Obrien. I found this voat article on Richard Prince talking about using artwork for laundering payments for child exploitation. Could be true. Here is an article where Prince makes $90,000 off an instagram pic he stole from someone else.
Also, just total coincidence, but had to throw this out there. The Minnesota chapter is ran by a man named Dick Schmoker....thats right...Dick Schmoker. https://www.instagram.com/p/BST_7zjhihD/?taken-by=freeartsmn
Just pretty odd is the fact that an organization dealing with at-risk children, had for years, a logo used amongst child abusers. The mentors they bring in to work with the kids "hands-on" all seem to be infatuated with sex and some even show inappropriate artwork of young kids. I think some of these people and the organizations need to be further looked into. Any help digging is appreciated.

There we go: "(Dear Instagram: This is a masterpiece of modern sculpture by Charles Ray and is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. The artist is the subject of a profile in the current New Yorker. This is not pornography. It is a widely acknowledged masterpiece of modern sculpture. It is art.)" https://www.instagram.com/p/2fEnxhDh7F/
