‘Light a Future’ hosts Art Sale to support 100,000 children
View(s):The ‘Light a Future’ initiative held an exclusive Art Sale with donated pieces by eight locally renowned artists – an initiative conducted in partnership with Atlas, Sarvodaya, Buzzer, My Tickets, Ernst & Young and Emerging Media.
The exhibition on December 13 at Barefoot Gallery, Colombo, Sri Lanka raised over Rs.750,000, the organisers said in a media release.
The ‘Light a Future’ initiative aims to enable 100,000 children from the most vulnerable families in Sri Lanka to stay in school amidst Sri Lanka’s largest humanitarian crisis, by providing them with essential learning tools for the school year. Proceeds from the Art Sale will go towards fulfilling this pledge.
Commenting on the success of the event, Director Marketing of Atlas Axillia (Pvt) Ltd- Kaushali Kusumapala stated: “This crowd funding initiative hopes to support children with school essentials to continue their education. We thank our local artists for dedicating their time and who purchased the art to make the art sale a success. Children are the future of a nation, and we are committed to support their development”
Artist Prageeth Rathnayake stated: “As an artist these are little things, we can do to help our community. I am happy to donate our art towards the ‘light a future initiative”.
Artist Prasadini Kumari said: “In tough times it’s important we support one another”.
The ‘Light a Future’ initiative continues to rally global citizens around the project that aims to raise funds in order to provide essential school supplies required for the new school year in 2023, and invites those interested in the cause to visit www.lightafuture.com for more information and to donate.
