Canvases 4 Cures

About Me

We are Canvases For Cures.
We are a movement of people that believe in music, art and creativity.
We believe these activities can change the world, change lives, and change things for the better.
We came together through music. We formed friendships, travelled the world and tackled our problems together, because music united us.
We want to show people how much can change with a note, a chord progression, a chorus.
Some of us are artists. Some are photographers. Some are writers, graphic designers. These things have also given us hope, dreams, and ways of expressing ourselves.
We want to share that with the world.
With the power of art and music, we want to create a wealth of artistic work that is inspired by music; to encourage action, to encourage engagement with the world, to help those who are suffering. We want to support people who help tackle and deal with terminal illness, emotional issues and child abuse, amongst other causes.
Whether it's painting a piece that we sell on to gain money for our chosen charities and projects, or making a creative space for people who would not have access to these things we take for granted, or putting on gigs where people are free to express themselves and make art at the same time, we want to help people as much as we can.
Art can cover so many things, can heal so many wounds, and give so much hope for a different future. Help us help the world, help us be the change we wish to see in the world.
Give us a chance. Add us. Talk to us. Create with us. Dream with us.
This world is ours to paint however we want.
