Artists for Venezuela

About

About

A benefit initiative that turns art into direct humanitarian support for Venezuela.

Artists for Venezuela is an initiative that brings together artists, cultural workers, and organizers committed to imagining a different future for Venezuela after the earthquake. Organized by Violette Bule and Nicolás Gerardi, the initiative creates spaces for cultural exchange through pop-up art fairs and other collaborative projects.

Why we're doing this

Venezuela has been devastated by a catastrophic earthquake, worsening an already severe humanitarian crisis. Thousands of families have lost their homes, hospitals are overwhelmed, and access to medicine, medical equipment, electricity, and clean water remains critically limited.
