About the
Artists In Action Event Series
In
2001, EW created the Artists In Action Event Series to provide
a medium for artists to raise awareness of critical social and
environmental issues and fund raise for community-led solutions.
Beginning
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.

Volunteering Abroad, 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
