This week, Bob Ross, Inc. announced an extraordinary gift in support of public television. Thirty original paintings by Bob Ross from the public TV series The Joy of Painting will be sold at auction and the net proceeds donated to America’s public television stations.

We are deeply grateful to Joan Kowalski and Bob Ross, Inc. for this impactful gift, which will help local stations continue to deliver engaging content to their communities.

In a partnership that has endured for decades, public television brought Bob’s joyful teaching and gentle encouragement to people everywhere, and he often signed off by encouraging his viewers to support their local station. We are delighted that the gift of his paintings will honor that legacy, serving the mission of public television to educate and inspire.

With deepest gratitude, on behalf of our public television stations
