Often
looked to as the consciences of humanity, artists have a unique
ability to create powerful and innovative social change. Whether
through music, visual art, performance, or poetry, artists speak
with integrity and the world listens.
About the
Artists In Action Event Series
The
Artists In Action Event Series was created to provide a medium
for artists to raise awareness of critical social and environmental
issues and fund raise for community-led solutions.
Beginning
in 2001 with EW's first benefit, Art for AIDS Relief, artists
in Santa Barbara, CA united with artists in Zimbabwe, Southern
Africa to launch EW's Orphan Care program, now serving over 250
children.
Today,
empowered artists across the globe launch theatrical productions,
exclusive soirees, world music concerts and DJ club nights benefiting
EW.

Keith
Biele
- Art for AIDS Relief
In 2007, social change driven fine artist, Keith
Biele became EW's first Artist In Action abroad. While in Zimbabwe
he provided skills building workshops for T&J designs (improving
product quality) and essential art therapy to children at Julia's
Home and to over 100 children in three rural areas when EW made
field visits. In addition to helping orphaned
children and communities to fight AIDS, Keith took this opportunity
to inspire good will and global understanding in under served youth
in the USA. He brought 100 paintings from children at Ocean City
Elementary School in Florida - where 80% of the students are dealing
with poverty - to orphaned children in Zimbabwe as a symbol of friendship
and solidarity. SEE VIDEO
