Exhibition dates: October 27 - November 26, 2005

On October 27 2005 an exciting and innovative art exhibition was held in Vancouver featuring photographs taken by the children of the SHERP orphanage in Maralal Kenya in collaboration with a distinguished group of contemporary artists from various disciplines.

As curator I'm thrilled and honored to have such an overwhelming response from a unique and hugely talented group of artists. The combination of humanity and creativity in the resulting art is exceptional.

The exhibition has been designed as a tool to help alleviate poverty in Kenya by nurturing and celebrating the artistic skills of the orphans while supporting and featuring the talents of the participating artists.

The show opened October 27 at Auto One @ 1755 West 3rd Avenue (at Burrard), and runs until November 26. Hours for viewing are 10:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday and 10:00am to 4:00pm Saturday.
