1000 Drawings

About

Night of 1000 Drawings is a unique fundraising exhibition, where A5 art is donated by anyone and everyone, collected and sold to the public.

Company Overview

1000 Drawings is a one night exhibition made possible by every-buddy out there donating A5 artworks (anything from sketches, photos, mosaics - we love it all!) which sell to the public for R100.

All proceeds go to charity. The charities we are supporting in 2018 / 2019 are Dlala Nje ( www.DlalaNje.org), Everybody Love Everybody - ELE (http://www.ele.org.za) and Paballo Ya Batho.

All are welcome to donate to make a difference, from novice to pro. Draw, photograph, embroider anything as long as it's A5 format.

General Information

1000 Drawing principals:
• To expose and provide a level playing field for up-and-coming artists, established artists, amateurs, old and young. Thus: all drawings to be sold at the same price, all drawings need to be displayed randomly at the event, no classifications of any sort.
• Raise awareness and funding for the charities in question and make it the centre of attention in any communication that goes out
• Promoting the inner city and encouraging the general public to embrace the inner city more
• Involvement of the community as contributors of art work but also as volunteers to help manage and maintain the event
• Motivating the general public to use their creative juices and get involved in a good cause. We want to break the whole syndrome of “I cannot draw”, “I as an individual cannot do anything to change things, that’s the role of governments and big corporates”.
• Make the event attractive for a broad population base, i.e. jump over barriers of social class, race, age, religious affiliation
• Be transparent to all stake holders involved in ‘1000 Drawings’
