Our Mission 

 

 

We create opportunities for Iraqi artists to generate an  

 

 

 

income by virtue of their talent, creativity and hard work,

not a handout. In this way, we can help the artists and

those whom they support to maintain a level of dignity in

these most undignified times.

As well, we have and will continue to organize

exhibitions from Artists around the globe who are in

similar circumstances to that of the Iraqi people. There

are millions of people worldwide who suffer, caught in the

middle of brutal conflicts in which they do not participate,

but which victimize them nonetheless. Through our exhibitions, we provide a much needed,

more comprehensive and humanistic view of the people

and cultures in which these artists live to the Chicago

community and the American public in general. It is our

goal to promote understanding and compassion for

people who live under tyranny and oppression.

65% of the pretax sale of art goes directly to

the artists and their families.
