the colours of change...
Africa on Canvas buys paintings at fair market value directly from artists in Tanzania & donates all net proceeds from the resale to The Uganda Partnership Association, a Calgary organization working with widows in Uganda to develop projects that empower women & children to lead the way in changing their communities.
I'm excited to announce that Africa on Canvas will be taking part in the Artemis Charitable Foundation's 2009 Gallery Calorie and Art Race this Saturday on 17th Avenue SW.
Not only has Africa on Canvas donated a painting to the Art Race being held at the wrap-up party in Tomkins Park, but we have been invited by Artemis to set up an art display up along 17th Avenue during the Gallery Calorie event as well. More details about the location of our display will be posted here later today or tomorrow.
Tickets to the Art Race are still available on the Gallery Calorie website. Check out their online gallery for all the paintings up for grabs! The private party in Tomkins Park includes a live band, silent auctions, food and drink and of course the Art Race.
