IRAQI ARTISTS

Iraqi Art is a non-profit organization with a gallery located at 7013 N Sheridan Rd, Chicago IL, 60626.www.irari-art.comThrough our exhibitions, we create opportunities for Iraqi artists to generate an income by virtue of their talent, creativity and hard work, not a handout. In this way, we can help the artists and those whom they support to maintain a level of dignity in these most undignified times. As well, we have and will continue to organize special exhibitions from people around the globe who are in similar circumstances to that of the Iraqi people. There are millions of people worldwide who suffer, caught in the middle of brutal conflicts in which they do not participate, but which victimize them nonetheless. Through our exhibitions, we also provide a much needed, more comprehensive and humanistic view of the Iraqi people and Iraqi culture to the Chicago community, and the American public in general. It is our goal to promote understanding and compassion for people who have lived under tyranny for decades, if not centuries, and who continue to suffer because of the conflicts which surround them.All profits from the sale of art go directly to the artists and their families.
