Communities Healing Through Art

NIKOLO Salazar recalls his experience at the height of Supertyphoon “Yolanda” (international name: Haiyan) and its aftermath: “Every day we had to search for food. Money didn’t matter. It was all about survival. We were all back to zero.”

He says he and his family were lucky to have been spared: “I thought that the whole world was affected—that it was the end.”

After the calamity, he suffered even greater trauma when he saw dead bodies along the road. “They were all piled up,” he recalls. “I initially thought to myself that life, as it is, is what you have. It is fragile and you just have to make the most of it depending on circumstances.”

Seven art therapists from all over the world have now started work with The Red Pencil supporting around 250 children, 50 parents and 15 teachers in refugee camps on the border of Syria: https://www.facebook.com/theredpencilfoundation

Making an Impact,

Promoting Art with a Cause.

Arts of Nepal provides common interactive art platform for Nepali artists, there by exposing their best artworks and talents to the world. ArtsOfNepal.com houses one of the largest and wide collections of Nepali art, ranging from tradition art like Newari Pauba, thangka and Mithila to modern abstract and semi abstract art.

Nepal, known as a land of diverse cultures, languages, ethnicities and religions, has to offer amazing variety of artworks. However, these artists remain in dark, unknown to the outside world. ArtsOfnepal.com is proud to bring out the hidden talents out of the closet, while appreciating and respecting their work, presenting their work to the public.

The Art Works!: Sangai Khelaun (Let’s Play Together) is a new initiative with an aim to run a number of programmes in communities displaced or affected by Nepal's earthquakes. One of the initiative's main aims is simply: 'to engage children and their communities in creative and joyful activities...foster children’s imagination and raise self-esteem.'

CHART is excited to announce a collaboration with Nepal House Society,http://www.nepalhousesociety.org/, to participate in psychosocial relief activities emphasizing arts-based programming.
