The Art of Compassion Exhibition: A Virtual 3D Showcase

The Art of Compassion exhibition series is the first of its kind—a virtual 3D showcase of never-before-seen vegan art by dozens of artists around the globe. It also provides artists with an inspired and communal space to share their creations and continue advocating for animals through art.

They took my heart by storm with their loving, sensitive, 154 FORÇA VEGAN and very social nature.

The exhibition series is comprised of four different shows, each with a unique theme that celebrates a different non-profit vegan organization selected to receive all proceeds from the art auction associated with the given show. Additionally, a high-quality exhibition catalogue will be published for purchase at the culmination of the exhibition and will be available both digitally and in print.

Alex Art (Sweden)

She gives us the best, and most colorful foods, she gives without measure; though she is suffering from all the pain we humans have caused her.

The first show, Nourishing with Heart, ran from July 1st to August 31st and featured the work of 12 artists from 9 different countries. It was a huge success and explored questions like: What does it mean to nourish with heart? What does the interconnection of food justice look like—for animals, people, and the planet? How do we nourish all things with our food choices? Money raised through the sale of art prints was donated to the Food Empowerment Project.

Lynda Bell (New Zealand)

This painting represents a world where food is grown in abundance and the Earth is as plentiful as it should be.

The second show, At Home in Nature, will open on October 1st and run until November 30th. In this show, we will highlight what it means to be at home in nature—for animals and humans alike. It will explore questions like: What does sanctuary in nature look like to you? What does it mean to return home to nature? How might humans and animals coexist in nature? Come mid-November we will have an art print auction on Facebook to fundraise for The Goode Life, a sanctuary focused on the healing power of nature—for animals and humans alike.

Gabriele Elsler (Germany)

I use a lot of symbols in my artwork... They can be political, heartwarming, disturbing and heartbreaking. They are meant to touch the viewer where I cannot touch him/her with words.

Guardian was inspired by my growing belief that people respond most meaningfully to things they love, and will protect those things.
