NEW YORK -- In partnership with Phillips Auction House, international water foundation One Drop has announced Art for One Drop, a contemporary art charity auction that will raise funds for One Drop's safe water initiatives in Latin America.
Established in 2007 by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté, the One Drop foundation has 13 active water access projects in Latin America, Africa and India that will reach more than 1.3 million beneficiaries once completed.
One Drop's approach to international development is intrinsically linked to the arts. Its Social Art for Behavior Change programs are locally-inspired social art activities such as theater, murals, videos and exhibitions that the communities take ownership over time.
The funds raised at the Art for One Drop will benefit One Drop's work in Latin America, specifically through its Lazos de Agua program centered on Social Art for Behavior Change that are slated to help the more than 200,000 people in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia and Paraguay, through sustainable access to safe water and sanitation.
Art for One Drop will be held on September 21. For more information visit www.artforonedrop.org
