Thursday, August 18th, 2016 - The artAZ SURPRISE benefit art campaign is crossing borders. SURPRISE Quito is our first Latin American installment, taking place at
Galeria Artik, in Quito, Ecuador, in September 2016. This time, artAZ founder Alexandra Kollaros is mobilizing the international art community to support the victims of the Ecuador April 16th earthquake. To make it happen the organizers have partnered with the leaders of the Ecuadorian art scene:
Galeria Artik,
Ghibli,
Ileana Viteri,
Mas Arte and
Pentasiete Gallery, while they have the support of local media, respectively
Cosas and
Casas magazines are supporting the international exhibition. The event is supporting the work of the
Desafio Ecuador non-profit organization.
The organizers are calling artists to join their cause by creating a small format artwork. The artworks selected will be put into exhibitions, while the identity of the artist will remain hidden in the back of the painting. Till now the organization was taking place for several years in Greece, and has been a major success. Find out more at the Organizer's
webpage.
Deadline: 15 of September 2016.
