Global Canvas
Upcoming Projects
Our inaugural project for 2024 is set to commence soon, featuring a collaborative effort from a curated selection of several artists from Afghanistan, and the globe. Stay tuned for forthcoming details on these esteemed artists and their remarkable contributions to this project.
Program Overview
Engaging Artists & Artisan Women
Cultural Exchange and Unity
We curate exhibitions showcasing these diverse artworks, providing a platform for the artists' voices and supporting the talented artisan women in Afghanistan. This initiative holds particular significance in a time when women in Afghanistan face severe restrictions on education and employment opportunities.
Beyond its artistic significance, Global Canvas serves as a catalyst for fostering cultural exchange and unity. By bringing together artists and art enthusiasts from various corners of the world, the program facilitates the exchange of diverse cultural viewpoints, enriching global conversations and understanding.
Each year, Global Canvas embarks on distinctive projects, each with its unique title and thematic focus. At the core of this initiative is the provision of canvas, in the form of felt made by women residing in the rural regions of Afghanistan. We distribute this canvas to a select group of artists scattered across the globe. These artists, regardless of their location, engage with the canvas, infusing it with their creativity and unique artistic expressions. Upon completion, the artworks are returned to us.
