Art for Cancer
During the auction people will be able to bid and buy recycled contemporary design pieces along with paintings, sculptures and various items donated by a selected group of artists. Prior to the auction, Maha Al Sahaf, curator at Al Riwaq Art Space, has been leading a 10 day workshop for a selected group of local, regional and international artists. They have been sketching out ideas which have been then critiqued, and the most striking concepts have been translated onto furniture items which had been provided by Al Riwaq Art Space. The objective of the workshop was to research various ways in which the furniture items could be artistically manipulated with well thought out concepts that relate to the theme in any desired way. The final outcome will be the silent auction that will be held at Al Riwaq on Tuesday 20th April where 100% of the proceeds will go towards the Bahrain Cancer Society. In addition, a few of Bahrain’s Artists are donating paintings and sculptures for this event, such as Khaled Farhan, Mohammed Al Mahdi and Faika Al Hassan. Selected items at Al Riwaq’s Gift Shop have also been donated by artists such as Bahraini Jewelry Designer Rayya Fathallah; such items are tagged with yellow ribbons. This event will be running through Tuesday 27th April.
Earth Hour- Saudi Arabia- Save the Date
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.
Earth Hour 2010 takes place on Saturday 27 March at 8.30pm (local time) and is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community throughout the world. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, to get involved and lead the way towards a sustainable future. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas will stand in darkness. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.
It’s Showtime! Show the world what can be done.
