ArtBarrage are very proud to once again curate the ArtBarrage 2013 FreeHand contemporary art auction to raise funds for War Child’s vital mission.
The mission to work with war-affected communities, helping children “reclaim their childhood through access to education, opportunities and justice” is needed more than ever in war-torn nations where vulnerable communities are struggling to overcome the trauma of war.
By incorporating drawings made by children in Afghanistan alongside contemporary visual artists, the FreeHand auction celebrates the War Child community, the visual arts community and the creative process in all it’s many manifestations.
Bid to provide hope. Bid with your heart.
