Give the public a chance to observe artists at work or exhibit in more accessible places to the average person so that they can appreciate art better.

Communicate with associations or organizations with similar goals, in order to observe their experiences and exchange information .

Organize trips around the Sudan, travailing exhibitions (art classes for children and women, workshops, lectures) and help reserve and document the local cultures at every region we visit.

Participate in humanitarian issues, by organizing workshops and exhibit artwork that represents our opinion.
