This October, 50 painters will donate their work for an important cause in Côte d’Ivoire. Nearly 20,000 children in Côte d’Ivoire will receive the first in a series of illustrated books designed to promote hygiene through handwashing. The educational endeavor is funded through a unique collaboration with Ivorian painters who are donating 40% of proceeds from unpublished works. The art pieces will be exhibited and sold between October 19 and November 24, 2018.
Pépé Olivier, president of the foundation All for Children, is himself an artist and at home among painters, sculptors, and photographers. His inspiration behind collaborating with artists to fundraise for this children’s health initiative is that help first comes from family.
