DROOL presents the month-long art fundraiser – ‘UNFUCK OUR RAINFORESTS’. Curated in response to the drastic increase in human-driven rainforest fires and deforestation globally, the campaign aims to use art as a force for good. People purchasing art through the campaign will make a tangible contribution to rainforest conservation, protecting an acre of rainforest for every £1.60 donated.
Enlisting the help of 30 emerging painters, photographers and illustrators, limited edition fine art prints will be sold that explore the subject of nature. Made up of abstract and representational works that embody unadulterated nature, evidence of human disruption and juxtapositions of the two.
From sales, 60% of the profits will be donated to Rainforest Trust – one of the world’s most respected conservation charities, which has been protecting rainforests for over 30 years. With the remaining 40% of the profits going to the artists. This gives people the opportunity to buy museum-quality giclée art prints by known artists, whilst making a physical difference in the preservation of wildlife and indigenous communities alike. Not to mention the positive impact they’ll be having in relation to the current climate change crisis. People purchasing artwork will receive both a printed certificate stating their donation, which will include details on the acres of rainforest they are sponsoring.
On the 30th Oct we'll be launched the campaign with a pop-up shop exhibiting the works. Come by https://www.facebook.com/events/2410522505936255/
“Tropical deforestation accounts for up to 15% of net global carbon emissions each year – the same as every car, truck, bus, plane, ship and train on the planet. So safeguarding existing rainforests is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways an individual can fight climate change” – Source Rainforest Trust 2019
“All money raised by DROOL during this fundraiser will be donated to Rainforest Trust’s Conservation Action Fund. This vital fund supports Rainforest Trust’s most urgent work around the world, allowing the charity to direct money where it is most needed” – Alex Liepman, DROOL Founder
