Project "HOME" - An arts exhibition for the relief of victims of Sichuan earthquake -
Hi, Daniel, we are an arts organization in Hong Kong. Our name is 'Art Fete Brings Hope 藝展予希望'. We are governed by the Hong Kong Laws. Every year we carried out arts exhibition in various shopping malls in Hong Kong and collected funds for the
charity organizations and provided arts therapy to the sick children, and to promote
arts to the citizens. The charity organizations included UNICEF, ORBIS, Children's
Cancer Foundation etc. Our members are now learning in the universities, or working in various industries, for example, arts education, design, architecture, advertising, corporate communications, public bodies, property development, or running their companies or married. Having seen the Sichuan earthquake in China, we want to make contribution. We want to invite artists in various cities to join force to carry out an arts exhibition in Hong Kong to sustain the citizens' care and help to the victims in Sichuan.
The project is to call upon artists in various arts perspectives to lend out their
artworks for the arts exhibition. The theme of the arts exhibition is "家". We will not
carry out any sales, or auction of the artworks during the arts exhibition. However, Oxfam will call upon the citizens to donate during the arts exhibition. We will make a book for the arts exhibition with photos and meaning of the artworks, and give the books to the Sichuan government for reference, and give the books to the charity organizations as a counselling tool, and as our blessing to
the victims in Sichuan. We appeal to you to support or take part or to call upon your friends to do so in the arts exhibition. Our members are working on the following artworks, and your support or participation would make a difference:
Chinese calligraphy - the Chinese word '家' in various dynasties.
Architectural arts – illustrations and models for anti-earthquake schools and citizens
shelters.
Installation arts - a human-size transparent container filled with fake steel bars,
broken concrete, destroyed personal belongings, destroyed fixtures, fittings etc. It is
to display how the victims feel compression, breathless and helpless etc under the
broken concrete.

Manga arts - various short stories about home.
Computer graphic design arts - showing the differences between Sichuan and Hong
Kong in terms of geography, demographics, education facilities, residence, economy,

and the dragon symbolizes China.

playing with their parents or friends etc.
