About

The collective raises funds for the education and training of women living in extreme poverty through the sale of their artwork.

The artists’ themes are wide ranging and thoughtful: from memory and exile, dreamscapes and dark imaginings, elemental landscapes, identity and outsider, entrapment and escape, philosophical and political musings - to belonging and longing, play and solace, symbolism and ancient motifs, and celebration and peace. The artists use diverse media including; ceramics, textiles, sculpture, photography, painting, printmaking and collage.

An important part of Suraya Arts’ manifesto is to work towards creating a fairer and more equitable world. Each year the collective sponsors a community living in extreme poverty. The members raise funds through exhibition events and art sales and contribute towards education and training opportunities for the community members so that they can build sustainable lives for themselves and their children.  Suraya Arts is currently sponsoring Aspire Rwanda www.aspirerwanda.org
