Our Mission
We create opportunities for Iraqi artists to generate an
income by virtue of their talent, creativity and hard work,
not a handout. In this way, we can help the artists and
those whom they support to maintain a level of dignity in
these most undignified times.
As well, we have and will continue to organize
exhibitions from Artists around the globe who are in
similar circumstances to that of the Iraqi people. There
are millions of people worldwide who suffer, caught in the
middle of brutal conflicts in which they do not participate,
but which victimize them nonetheless.
Through our exhibitions, we provide a much needed,
more comprehensive and humanistic view of the people
and cultures in which these artists live to the Chicago
community and the American public in general. It is our
goal to promote understanding and compassion for
people who live under tyranny and oppression.
65% of the pretax sale of art goes directly to
the artists and their families.
