Art Nepal unites creative community for good
Pi Society & Habitat for Humanity unite the Amsterdam Creative Community with an Art Benefit for Nepal on Thurs 21st May at Westergasfabriek.
Amsterdam 15th May, 2015 – Pi Society and Habitat for Humanity are proud to announce another collaboration, Art Nepal, that will raise funds to build houses for those in need after the devastating earthquake that took thousands of lives in Nepal last month. After the second powerful tremor this week, giving is in great need for organisations like Habitat for Humanity to act with our support.
Evolving from historic Pi Society events, the Art Nepal format has a special emphasis on putting creative businesses and brands in the spotlight and championing creativity for good. For every tax-deductible donation of 500 EUR, each company will receive a large canvas of which their most talented artists, designers and other creative minds are invited to adorn. The art creation takes place in the day from noon to 6pm (open to the public), while the finished canvases will be auctioned off at the party that night from 8pm to midnight at the stunning Westergasfabriek.
So far, Art Nepal has received commitments from agencies such as 72&Sunny, 180 Amsterdam, WE ARE Pi, Iris, Sid Lee and Weiden + Kennedy. Brands such as Coca-Cola and Broeski, and many more sponsorship talks are currently underway. The DJ line-up includes popular, local talent like $olo, SirOJ and Breach. Joy of the Chiquita Photobooth will also be on hand to capture the fun with her camera, fun sets and hand-designed props.
