A collective of Venezuelan artists and friends of Venezuela has launched ArtForVenezuela, an online solidarity art gallery created in response to the June 24, 2026 earthquake. Under the motto “art that rebuilds lives,” the initiative calls on artists to contribute works in digital format for the sale of fine art prints, with proceeds going to the care of children and families affected by the disaster.
How It Works
The mechanism is straightforward: each artist contributes between one and five digital works, which are published on the ArtForVenezuela online gallery along with the artist’s name, biography, and technical details. Each piece is reproduced in a limited edition of eight numbered prints on museum-quality fine art paper, available in four formats ranging from 13×18 cm to 50×60 cm. Buyers purchase their prints online and receive them directly at home, along with a digital certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Where the Funds Go
According to the organizers, during the initiative’s first six months 100% of the proceeds will be transferred directly to Meals4Hope, without passing through third-party accounts and with no member of the project receiving commissions or fees of any kind. From the seventh month onward, and on a permanent basis, each sale will be split equally between the artist and the organization.
Meals4Hope is a Venezuelan foundation that has been running community food and nutrition programs since 2016, serving children, pregnant women, and the elderly in vulnerable communities across the country. The organization, which is autonomous and has no political or religious affiliation, reported having provided nutritional and food support to more than 4,000 children in 2023.
Open Call for Artists
The call is open to photography, digitized painting, digital illustration, and generative art. Participation is free and voluntary; at this first stage, no physical works are accepted, only high-resolution digital files (TIFF or AI at 300 DPI). Artists retain full intellectual property and copyright over their original works at all times and sign a usage rights agreement limited to the production of prints and the project’s communications.
Artists interested in taking part should send their information, a short biography (200 characters maximum), a portrait, and the details of each work in a single PDF to gabrielamedinaart@gmail.com and submit their files via WeTransfer following the technical specifications of the open call. More information will soon be available on the ArtForVenezuela website.
