Artist with Purpose Launch

AWP aims to ignite and grow a sense of purpose amongst performing and creative artists including vocalists, musicians, painters, poets, circus artists and sculptures. Starting in Cape Town, South Africa, the concept will be shared across Africa and beyond, to provide a model through which artists can thrive themselves and also become personal change-agents in society. To empower and support performing and creative / design artists through personal development and stress management courses to ignite purposeful upliftment in our communities. These artists will themselves be better equipped to support underprivileged performing or creative / design artists and become artists with purpose. Our short term goal is fundraising for the WCF Washington DC September 2023

Upcoming event is the AWP Launch celebrating our seva warrior angel Kimon’s birthday. 15 April 2023 4-6 pm
