Our Purpose
The Profile
The Vision
Artists help societies to understand that living in dignity is a result of the fullfilment of existential needs and that one of the fundamental needs is to express the entire cultural repertoire for which humankind «invented» the arts.
The Foundation was established to operate in the way of a supranational and independent NGO. We always intervene by non-political and non-religious means to be able to stay focused on three dimensions of direct, sustainable and unbureaucratic humanitarian aid which is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UNESCO programme of the Diversity of Cultural Expression.
The three dimensions of support
- FREEDOM OF CULTURAL EXPRESSION
- QUALITY & DIVERSITY IN ARTS EDUCATION
- EMPOWERING ARTISTS IN SITUATIONS OF SEVERE DISTRESS
