Overview
Mercy in Action is a charity that is fighting to bring hope to some of the world’s poorest people. February 2012, Mercy in Action will be hosting a weeklong art exhibition with a difference at Paintworks in Bristol’s Creative Quarter, based on the theme of hope and poverty.
Mercy in Action are inviting artists worldwide to submit pieces based on their interpretation of Hope and/or Poverty that will be displayed to inspire, provoke and create awareness of the crippling effects of poverty and the change that hope can bring, whilst raising money that will be used to rescue and bring hope to those trapped in lives of poverty in the Philippines.
Inspired by the story of William Hogarth and the many other leading artists of the day who joined him in donating works to help support the first children's Foundling hospital in London and thus creating Britain's first public exhibition space, the artists of today are able to make a difference through their gifts and talents. So join Mercy in Action in creating a vision of hope through art.
