ABOUT
The Art of Compassion (AOC) Project is an international art
collective that aims to support the compassionate lifestyle of
veganism by donating 100 percent of proceeds from various art
projects to non-profit vegan organizations.
Through this effort, we also aim to build a strong international
community of vegan artists who share the same vision—to use
their art as a means to spread the vegan message.
Currently, The AOC Project is supported by over 190 artists
from twenty-eight countries and continues to grow.

THE FOUNDER
LEIGH SANDERS
I believe art is powerful in its
gentleness. It presents itself
honestly and openly, allowing the
viewer to take as little or as much
as they are ready for from it.
Leigh Sanders is a passionate vegan who founded The Art of
Compassion Project out of her love for art and her desire to
effect change for animals. Due to a physical disability, Leigh
had to get creative with her advocacy efforts and one thing
led to another until The AOC Project was born.
Leigh’s dream is for The AOC Project to become a
collaboration between animal advocacy artists worldwide
and to support as many non-profit vegan organizations as
possible in the years to come.
In reflecting on the impact the AOC Project has already had,
Leigh said, “I have seen how these artists have started
feeling more determined and motivated to use their art as a
form of activism. This emotion, commitment, and
enthusiasm is tangible in their work.” An artist herself,
Leigh also aspires to develop her own style of advocating
for animals through her paintings.

making the transition to veganism as easy and enjoyable as

Catalonia, Spain - The Art of Compassion is the first book of its
kind—a collection of heartwarming and awakening vegan art
from eighty artists around the globe. Through the power of
visual and literary art, this book aims to expose the plight of
animals, to empower animal rights activists, and to inspire the
compassionate lifestyle of veganism. The book will be available
on Amazon worldwide on June 2, 2019—National Animal
Rights Day.
Julie Gueraseva—founder, editor, and designer of LAIKA
Magazine—writes: "Through a collection of works from eighty
artists, The Art of Compassion showcases the remarkable
breadth of contemporary vegan art. Every imaginable style and
medium is represented: whether realism or abstract;

painting or photography; sculpture or collage; watercolor or
digital illustration. If society’s progress is measured by its art,
then the sheer volume of animal rights art that is being
generated today and the scope of its creativity is a testament
that this movement is advancing toward a time of critical
mass."
This book was created by The Art of Compassion Project, an
international art collective founded in 2014 by Leigh Sanders.
The collective—now 190 artists strong across twenty-eight
countries—aims to support the compassionate lifestyle of
veganism by donating 100 percent of proceeds from various
art projects to non-profit vegan organizations. Thus far, they
have raised nearly $9,000 USD in support of 22 organizations.
The Art of Compassion was the original vision behind The Art of
Compassion Project, and the collective is thrilled to finally be
sharing the book with the world.
All proceeds from The Art of Compassion will support
Veganuary, an organization dedicated to changing public
attitudes and making the transition to veganism as easy and
enjoyable as possible.
Jane Land—co-founder of Veganuary—writes: “An insightful
collection of work by wonderful artists, The Art of Compassion
will inspire and educate the world about the lives of non-
human animals. These powerful images capture their beauty,
depict their emotions and bring our worlds closer together.
Veganuary is honored to be part of this project and to use the
proceeds of this book to encourage thousands more people
around the world to reduce animal suffering by going vegan.”
The Art of Compassion is complete with an eclectic body of 180
artworks—as well as twenty in-depth artist interviews and
seven touching poems. Undoubtedly, it is the perfect coffee
table book for every conscious home.
