Colosoul Art Exhibition: Opportunity

COLOSOUL GROUP INC. are holding a fundraiser for the children at the Princess Margaret Hospital Burns Unit.

Colosoul Magazine is an independent youth magazine dedicated to raising awareness about contemporary issues that WA youth are dealing with. Colosoul is designed for young people by young people, who are given the opportunities to excel in the media arts by producing a fresh and vibrant magazine.

In holding this event, we aim to not only provide a platform for emerging WA artists to exhibit and sell their artwork, but to also generate awareness of the obstacles the children at the PMH Burns Unit overcome and to raise money for the unit to go towards better and more resources.

The art works will be by emerging WA artists who will receive 20% of the sales. 60% of the money raised will be given as a donation to the Burns Unit at PMH. The remaining 20% will go back into the mentorship program at Colosoul Group Inc.
