A letter from Catherine of "Freedom to Create" to ART Without Borders Community:

"I came upon Art Without Borders’ work on your website and simply love what you’re doing, the work and spirit. We’re big fans!

I wanted to get in touch to urge your network of artists to enter the Freedom to Create Prize, an international celebration of the power of art to promote social justice, build the foundations for an open society and inspire the human spirit. Last year, over 1,000 artists entered from more than 80 countries.

The Prize consists of three categories: the Main Prize, open to individuals or artistic groups in all creative fields; the Imprisoned Artist Prize, focusing on artists who are currently imprisoned for their artwork and the Youth Prize which is open to artists under the age of 18. The total prize fund is US$ 125,000 which will be divided between the winning artists and their nominated advocacy organisations to further the cause their artwork has highlighted.

Simply go to http://www.freedomtocreate.com/Prize-Apply.asp to apply.

Aside from the Prize, Freedom to Create works to share entrants’ talents with the rest of the world. In addition to our exhibitions in London and New York, we also have a global touring exhibition. Most recently, we have showed at HIFA in Harare and the Queen’s Palace in Afghanistan. All entrants will also be considered for our huge festival we are planning in Africa for November, when we announce the Prize winners and celebrate the inspiration of this year’s artists.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me – my email is cb@freedomtocreate.com

Thank you!

Catherine"

The ART Without Borders members believe that art, through its commitment and interrogation, is one of the most direct avenues for people to use to better understand each other, respect each other's values, and promote peace. Art makes the community and the world a better place in which to live. Behind the pure esthetic, the ART Without Borders members believe that artists help individuals to have the freedom and ability to make meaning, formulate ideas, ask hard questions and imagine promising alternatives for the world and ourselves.

This is why artists are such an important part of any society, but also why they are among the first ones to be the victims of human rights violation or deprivation.

ART Without Borders (ARTwb) wants to participate in the building of a much better world through its programs, and advocate for the artist's human rights in the world. ART Without Borders is a non-profit organization 501(c) (3), incorporated in April 2006, which supports the cause of artists' human rights in America and in the world.
