💛 Please donate more if you can — 100% of profits go to Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) and Sumud School in Gaza via West Wales for Palestine.
🎨 ART FOR PEACE & CONNECTION 🎨
♡ Sumud School in Gaza is collaborating with us — children there are creating art pieces for exhibition and sale.
Each piece sold includes a photo and message from
the young artist.
In return, you’re invited to send back a photo or short video message of yourself receiving their art.
A two-way act of love, defiance, and solidarity across borders. ♡
We’re also accepting donations of art for our exhibition and online auction — a rare chance to showcase your work in the heart of Brighton.
