Art Empowers: An Art Platform Honoring Frontline Health Workers Through Art

Art Empowers is a nurturing platform for artists and art enthusiasts founded by the architect, interior designer, artist, and art curator, Shaymaa Hesham, and mechanical engineer, Ahmed Khaled. The platform aims to boost and empower talents by creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and showcase their talent and give them a chance to be recognized in the local and international art scene.

In order to allow artists and art enthusiasts to connect and engage, Art Empowers also hosts art events, workshops, exhibitions, and creative projects. It’s where every art event advocates for a different cause, and most importantly, promotes the significant impact of art on our society, culture, and people. Looking back at the previous projects, the multi-concept platform has worked with prominent Egyptian and internationally established artists, including their latest project in collaboration with world-class Colombian artist, Dairo Vargas, that has taken place in early March and is going to continue till June of 2020.

Dairo Vargas is a contemporary fine artist who has always been involved in global and local initiatives that aim to improve people’s lives, and since Art Empowers is aiming to empower generations through art movements and initiatives, it only made sense for Vargas to partner with such an impactful platform. The contemporary artist is very passionate about improving mental health and wellbeing, so he started an expressive contemporary painting course at Art Empowers for all passionate painters and artists out there who’re looking for inner inspiration to create abstract paintings.

The best part about this course is the proceeds will fund frontline workers who are bravely fighting COVID-19 in Cairo’s quarantine hospitals. Visit Art Empowers to be part of such a great initiative.
