WHAT IS PAINTING FOR CHARITY?

Raymond Van Neste BA, MA

 

PURPOSE AND VISION OF PAINTING FOR CHARITY

Painting for Charity uses the great traditions of art, photography and writing (including poetry) as a way of raising money to either support causes directly or to donate to registered charites around the world.  How this is done is through the kindness of volunteers who give up some of their time to paint pictures, take photographs or write articles.  The paintings and photographs are then sold directly on the website or put up for sale in exhibitions to raise money for Painting for Charity's causes. 

 

WORKING FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE

The website in its original form was launched in September 2008, at that time working to raise money for elderly people and related causes.  However, Painting for Charity is making a fresh start with the cause that it wants to devote itself to and with this in mind will work specifically for the cause of justice and peace in our world especially in relation to poverty and injustice in all of its guises. 

 

HELP NEEDED

Painting for Charity has built up an amazing portfolio of art and photography and intends to build on this without ceasing.  In this way it is able to raise money for it's causes and constantly needs the help of new artists, photographers and creative people!

 

A MULTICULTURAL VOLUNTARY GLOBAL GROUP

Painting for Charity is a not for profit voluntary group working towards its goal of becoming a registered charity in the United Kingdom.  However, although the charity's website has a United Kingdom domain it is in fact a global group and has a diverse multicultural foundation where not only the members are from different countries around the world but also the art, photography and articles of the members are a reflection of this great cultural tradition!
