During the previous months of Pandemic we have slowed down our pace to have more time to ponder the meanings of life, yet we are still holding onto our dreams and getting ready to launch, to meet and hug one another again.

At this moment of social and physical distancing the International Arts Gallery would like to remind and encourage we are still being together and lots of artists have responded to our call – thus comes the exhibition of paintings created by the artists expressing their feelings and sentiments during this very difficult crisis. We also hope this exhibition can cheer up the spirit of the communities, so everyone can feel the hope and joy once again.

在新冠肺炎疫情的恣瘧下,大家都被逼逗留在家裏,但也讓我們有更多時間反思生命的意義。我們的腳歩雖暫緩, 仍然堅定保持夢想, 期待再次出發, 彼此快樂相聚。

在這暴風雨的社區隔離期間,國際畫廊希望大家仍然互相關懷支持和鼓勵,共同渡過這次嚴峻的時刻,因此徵求各位畫家在家創作以疫情下感受為主題的作品,希望在疫情完畢後盡快安排展出,讓社區大眾觀賞並有所感受,重燃生命的盼望和喜悅,作為我們對社會的使命和回饋。

CHARITY BENEFICIARIES

As we witness the devastating impact of Covid-19 on the vulnerable senior communities, we feel the crisis might be challenging as another flu season is drawing near, and we need to act and help where it is most needed – the senior homes in the City.

Though our contribution is small we hope this Exhibition can help to create an echo from the community for more donations and resources for these long term care facilities so the senior residence and front line healthcare workers are better and safely protected. Please join us in our effort bringing these wonderful art pieces home or visit the Exhibition with any sum of donation.

當我們看到脆弱的老年人面對   Covid-19   的傷害及無助時,我們感到危機可能會隨著另一個流感季節的來臨而加劇,我們了解到要在最有需要的地方表示我們的關注 – 市區內的長者長期護理中心。

儘管我們能夠做到的是微不足道,但我們希望這次畫展能夠在社區帶動一點迴響,鼓勵提供更多的捐贈和資源給這些長者長期護理中心,以便安全地保護中心內的長者及前線醫療護理工作人員。請加入我們的行列,將這些精美的藝術品帶回家或到來參觀展覽時提供任何金額捐助。
