HELP US – HELP YOU

Submitted by TB on May 13, 2009 – 7:30 am3 Comments

art4good logo1 HELP US – HELP YOUHelp us – Help you! We at ARTWORKS have been noticing a trend. In tough times, artists tend to step up and take action. There are a lot of good things going on in the world. And a lot of artists are doing good things with their art. WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THEM. If you know of an artist who is giving back to humanity in some form, please tell us his/her story. Just send us an email or add a comment. We will select a few “Good Works” and highlight them in our new editorial section called: ARTWORKS FOR GOOD.  Email us at: editorial@artworksmagazine.com.  In the subject line, write ARTWORKS FOR GOOD.

    Dear Artworks,

    I have been working 3 years now for the United Nations Association Film Festival, an international documentary film festival originally established at Stanford University to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    UNAFF celebrates the power of films and videos dealing with human rights, environmental survival, women’s issues, protection of refugees, homelessness, racism, disease control, universal education, war and peace.

    Our film director and executive founder, Jasmina Bojic has committed herself to educating thousands of viewers about issues that continue to affect the lives of so many people around the world including the United States.

    We host academics and filmmakers so they can discuss topics that encourage dialogue and action by humanizing global and local programs – these groups otherwise separated by geography, ethnic and economic constraints.

    All in all, I think Jasmina Bojic is an excellent candidate for someone who is giving back to humanity through the powerful force of documentary filmmaking as a tool for social and political understanding.

    Thank you,
    Nisha Singh
    (btw, I love your magazine, gives me so much spiritual clarity!)

  • Hello-
    I paint a sort of daily-ish online diary. Sometimes I feature the odd charity news item. For example with the recent Poppy Day appeal here in the UK. The Royal British Legion sell poppies to raise funds for ex-service personnel and related charities-I`m sure the USA does similar. I painted three small images, each featured the charity poppy motif, these I subsequently sold on my site to help raise awareness and of course a little money…these and lots more small daily images can be seen at http://www.imagefromthevillage.co.uk
    I know it may not be much but every little bit adds up-I am giving a little back only too gladly….more to follow.
    Thanks for your excellent space here-to which I am a new finder and fan.
    Eugene
