In late 2007, a group of artists in Wales, concerned about the continuing humanitarian crisis in Darfur, came together with the aim of making a difference. These individuals, with links to the art world both in Wales and Sudan decided to create a project that would highlight the problems in Darfur and raise funds for the humanitarian relief work of Save the Children in this area. The project would also showcase and support the efforts of Sudanese and local Welsh artists. The Arts Call for Darfur project launched on December 14th at the Butetown History and Arts Centre in Cardiff Bay. Following the launch, the exhibition has travelled around the Bay in venues such as the Senydd, the Pier Head and, as a result of a special visit by a group of Welsh Artists in March 2008 , prints of the works are now on permanent display in the national museum of Khartoum, Sudan. We are looking to publicise the work of Arts Call for Darfur and to raise more funds to continue the success of this groundbreaking project .
Limited Edition prints signed by artists at available in sizes 30in (£220) and 20in (£140) Prints are also on available to buy (20in) £50 For more information and to purchase or order a original piece of artwork print please contact: Telephone: 02920256757 Email: mail@artscallfordarfur.org or marketing@bhac.org All support will be acknowledged through website, exhibitions and events.
