WORLD ART FORUM & SUSTAINABILITY Held annually, The World Art Forum sets itself apart from any other art fair or exhibition by adopting the SDGs at the core of our mission. We bring together east and west, north and south communicating through a global language…ART. We invite organizations to join us to play a role in pushing forward the agenda of SDG through Art in Egypt and the world. We want to work together to bring equality, women empowerment and open dialogue on culture and how art plays a role of bringing those worlds together. The suggested format of the inaugural forum will be under the auspices of the Egyptian government in partnership with the United Nations Representative Office in Egypt.
FORUM GOALS WAF will adopt an issue linked to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals around SDG# 17: Partnerships for the Goals. We intend to build partnerships between artists, development partners and organizations on a local, regional and global level enhancing opportunities for integration of art and social issues. We want to bring artists together from all over the world to spread the message of how art plays an essential role in raising awareness about world issues and allows the conversation to take place towards a sustainable future that we are all part of. By choosing a cause we invite artists from all over the world to collaborate and present their artwork. As we continue to evolve the theme and shape of the World Art Forum, there will be multiple communication touch points and activities that will help instigate change and action for a sustainable future.
