FLAME UK News ‘Art Across Waters' Exhibition
FLAME was pleased to see so many of it's supporters attending ‘Art Across Waters', displaying some exquisite pieces of art at the Artisan Gallery in the heart of the City of London. The event attracted loyal friends of FLAME and was a great introduction for those who were less familiar with FLAME's work. It was our pleasure to welcome Dr Khalid Hameed, the High Sheriff of London, as our guest speaker. The High Sheriff was the first Asian to be appointed as Chief Executive of a leading hospital in Europe . Not only has he held many significant roles within the medical world, but he is also Chairman of the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council and is a trustee of many charities. He carries out a great deal of public speaking on behalf of interfaith harmony. His speech was highly emotive and focused on the importance of education and touched many of the people that were present.
The collection included paintings and sketches by Pakistani masters including Riaz Raffi, Abrar Ahmed, Mashkoor Raza, Mohammed Kazim, Dilawer Mirza, Mansur Aye, Naveed Wazir Ali and Jamshed.
The proceeds raised through the sale of these paintings will go towards the set-up of new schools, Mobile Health Units and community learning projects in Pakistan. |
