Ever heard of Global Human Trafficking or Modern Day Slavery?
Have you ever talked about it, or discussed it amongst your friends?
Ever heard it mentioned on the streets, at school or in your local bar?
The answer for most of you is most probably NO! And this is what we want to change.

We want global human trafficking to be a part of every day conversation.
We want  youth and children to know what it means and how they can recognise and yes, even prevent it!
Modern day slavery is happening now, somewhere in that town where you live, its everywhere!

Over 24 million people live in forced captivity, 80% are children and women forced into prostitution and the sex trade.
We believe as artists that we can make a change through the power of art.

This is why we are inviting you to join us, to put your voice, your visions, your thoughts, words and emotions together into one creative pot of energy.

How we are going to do this? Its easy and its fun!

You have 3 options to join up with us!

How it works:

1. Anybody who wants to join our project and be informed of news, events, exhibitions, concerts etc. are simply invited to register at our login station, then you are connected, this is FREE!
   
   
2. Artists in all genres, visual, music, literature, performing arts, jewellery design, etc. are invited to become an active "Artist of Freedom".
   This entitles you to be a part of our online gallery etc. and to be able to apply for our international exhibitions.
   As well as this, as an Artist for Freedom you may help or create exhibitions, events, concerts etc. in your country, coordinated through a country officer of freedom and our management team.
   Every active Artist of freedom gives an organization fee for every exhibition he participate. The fee is 35,- € .
   
   If your artwork is chosen in one of the exhibitions, you will become an “Ambassador for Freedom" of your country and your artwork will be a part of a communal piece of art that will be exhibited in a public building of choice.
   
   
3. Schools, art associations, companies, individuals, sports clubs, artists organize their own, smaller events under the name of Artists for Freedom
   
   Companies plan own activities (running event, school event, their own art exhibition) on the theme of human trafficking/human rights under the slogan of Artists for Freedom.
