African Angels is humbled by the long term support from Julia and her organisation in the United States, @artforartorg
Julia and her team will be hosting an online art exhibition in July, to benefit African Angels.
This is what she shared on her social medial post via Instagram.
We are partnered with the international charity African Angels to provide funding for holistic academic and visual arts classes for over 100 students. In addition to providing hot meals, African Angels provides visual arts classes for children who live in communities without electricity, running water, sanitation or suitable housing. These classes teach the students to think critically and creatively, to observe and analyze, to express feelings and to problem-solve.
From July 5 - July 23, Art for Art will be hosting an online art exhibition featuring emerging student artists to support domestic and international COVID-19 relief. The exhibit is taking place on our website, and you can find the link in our bio. African Angels is one of the causes which will receive the proceeds from the art sold.
We are deeply appreciative of Julia's sustained fundraising efforts to support visual arts at African Angels. Now we are back to school, with some very strict procedures, we hope to start our visual arts programme again.
Because of Julia and her supporters, children who would never before have the opportunity to express themselves through art, can. Please support the Art for Art exhibition - covid safe - as it's online, if you can.
