Art with a Heart
Art with a Heart is an informal non-profit organisation set up by artist Karen Wroe, formalised and constituted in July 2012.
After the first successful exhibition in 2012, Around the World in 80 Artists in aid of the Children's Adventure Farm Trust in Chisnalls, the mission of the organisation has expanded and now includes:
1. To raise much needed funds for and to raise the awareness of selected charities using art and art exhibitions
2 To provide a forum to make the arts more accessible to a new and wider audience.
3. To support emerging artists irrespective of age, culture, nationality or background.
4.To assist in the regeneration of the local high street.
The products consist of exhibitions of the work by artists local and worldwide. These exhibitions will help to generate much needed funds and raise the awareness for the nominated charity, whether it is from the sale of the artwork, raffles or other sources of income.
All donations and time are on a voluntary basis. The benefit to the artists participating in the exhibition is international exposure to markets not normally available to them, whilst generating much needed funds & awareness for the nominated charities.
Exhibitions and Charities supported and to date include:
Around the world in 80 Artists in aid of The Children's Adventure Farm Trust (www.caft.co.uk)
