The Community of Artists is organising an upcoming art exhibition and auction, which will share their passion for art by raising funds for a creative Kampot-based NGO. The event, to be held on December 8 at an exclusive riverside location, will feature the work of eleven of the collective’s talented artists.
The Community of Artists was founded two years ago as a collective made up of people all around the world: Cambodia, Southeast Asia, and the West.
“Their artwork will be displayed at the restaurant, the Waterside. A percentage of all sales will benefit local charity, Epic Arts,” Emily Marques, one of the organisers and painters, told The Post.
She said the artists who will display their work and participate in the charity auction are Mirasol Aguila, Dina Chhan, Sheery Dancona, Anita Keo, Daro Nout, Carlo Santoro, Nou Sary, Suos Sodavy, Chhim Sothy, Artur Kazimierz-Tomaszeski, and herself.
The Community of Artists is an informal collective of artists of many disciplines with a commitment to consolidating and promoting Cambodian arts through mutual support and networking.
“We believe that by bringing together our wide range of backgrounds and experiences – Cambodia and expat, emerging and established – we can support and learn from each other while promoting our art across the country and reaching out into the wider region of Southeast Asia,” said Marques.
Founded in 2019 by celebrated local contemporary artist Chhan Dina, the collective’s activities include the organisation of exhibitions and events, workshops, and the sharing of resources and knowledge.
Their first exhibition and auction was held in 2020, titled &Nature Around Us&, it was a great success.
Dina said the Community of Artists was founded to encourage all artists to support one another’s efforts and to link them with opportunities.
