| Artfirm’s Charitable Work
Since opening in 2005, Artfirm Gallery has supported children through a variety of organizations. We have donated financially to children’s art & school programs with World Vision and for basic needs for children in Cambodia through Ratanak Foundation. Closer to home, Artfirm Gallery has also presented a children’s photography exhibition showcasing a group of young budding artists from CUPS: One World School based in Calgary, AB. This summer Donna and her husband will travel to Northern Thailand to work with children in several orphanages. These Hill Tribe children struggle against poverty, the stigma of HIV and limited access to education. Although a small step, by going to Thailand we seek to provide these children with love and support. A heartfelt thank you to all the artists, clients, our family and friends who have given financially through donations and raffle ticket sales.
