Philanthropic Art Society : when Art and Philanthropy go hand in hand

Brussels, September 27th 2010 - Seeking to promote the art market while providing smart and efficient solutions to our world's current challenges, the Philanthropic Art Society will now bring together artists and galleries participating in philanthropic fundraising operations through artwork selling. Fair Art fair Gallery will be its spearhead, rewarding the participants with a label. When art and philanthropy go hand in hand.. The PhilanthropicArt is born.

Philanthropy has the wind in its sails. Since forty American billionaires have pledged to provide half of their fortune to charities, philanthropists are popular on TV shows and in the press. Philanthropy is not anymore the privilege of the rich and powerful ones though : the intellectual and artistic flowering will indeed also soon add its own contribution to the building of a better world thanks to a small-scale generosity, transcended by a multitude of players. A new philanthropy, creative and well thought.
