Galleries and Museums
Local and international galleries play an important role in the START humanitarian arts programme as well showcasing the work of talented children, galleries can co-host public education schemes and support our internship programmes for talented young people attempting to enter the arts industries.
Proceeds from an exhibition
Selecting and designating one work in a show from which the gallery commission goes to START is an extremely generous gesture and some galleries have even gone further and donated a percentage of all sales of a show to START. Donations of this sort can be used to fund art materials for immediate donation to specisfic areas such as workshops with children who have special educational needs allowing for a direct link between the gallery and the project it has funded.
Include START in publicity
Tell your artists about us and let people to know more about START and what it does: encouraging artists and arts professionals to engage in humanitarian aid through arts education. It could be as simple as placing our logo on your website or carrying information about START in your next exhibition catalogue.
Help a teenager
Interns learn about the business and entrepreneurial aspects of running a gallery one day a week for 8 weeks.
By supporting our internship programmes for talented young people in the Middle East attempting to enter the arts industries you are creating an informed audience for shows and expanding the pool of future curators, art journalists and arts collectors.
Host workshops
START works with galleries so that children aged 7-14yrs are able to improve their creative skills and develop an informed understanding of local and international art and artists. Children’s monthly education programmes (responding to the gallery’s current collection) are hosted by galleries and materials for drawing from observation and workshop leaders are supplied by START.
Presentations from curators and artists connected to the gallery are also welcomed.
Please tell us how you would like to get involved by contacting Sonia Brewin at sonia@startworld.org
