This exhibition sends a beacon of hope to refugee children anywhere in the world that they are not forgotten, that their voices are heard, and that the world cares about them.
And it has a message to all children and young people in the province and around the globe that there are ways to cope with difficult emotions.

McGill University Syrian Students’ Association (SSA), a non-profit, secular student club directed towards helping the McGill and Montreal Syrian community, and Syrians everywhere around the world is organizing an art auction to help raise money for Syrians in Syria who have had to deal with the added hardship of COVID-19 called “Peace of Art for COVID”. The money raised would allow us to buy highly demanded medical equipment, such as oxygen tanks and electric organizers through an organization named “Saaed Society”. They are currently working on the grounds of Syrian provinces providing medical care and help for those impacted by the virus as well as preparing for the second wave that should be approaching soon.
As many of you know, Syria like many other countries has been struggling with the pandemic, they are not receiving enough aid such as medical supplies, oxygen tanks and masks. Many hospitals are destroyed and there are not many front liner workers to help those in need of intensive care. Syria is still experiencing a civil war that has entered its 9th year, forest fires, an economic crisis impacting Syrians greatly and now the pandemic to add on to the huge burden. The pandemic has caused people to say home not receiving an income, hospitals are overpopulated not accepting more patients and the COVID tests themselves are overly expensive. We are hoping to raise funds to provide aid for the different provinces of Syria to better prepare them for the upcoming wave which is why we need your help!
Keep an eye for more posts about our proud collaborators, generous artists who are donating their work and logistics on how the auction day will go on the event page!
In an age where our society was already becoming increasingly insular, the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic serves to only isolate us even more. Inspired by the spirit of the penpal and mail art movement, this exhibition will create a permanent physical and digital document of our existence in these times with more than 180 artists and 300 artworks.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting imposition of self-isolation, the Penticton Art Gallery, in partnership with the Syria.art Association (Nice/Berlin), invited artists from across the globe to participate in an unprecedented art exhibition entitled, You Are Not Alone. Like a message in a bottle, we sent out a call to artists working in all media, to submit works which would serve as a testament to our resiliency, creativity, and collective humanity in face of these extraordinary times. Visit the website here.
We hoped this exhibition would not only celebrate the power of art, but will serve as a celebration of our diversity, culture, and be an important reminder, that regardless of where we live on this planet, we are not alone. For the artists whose work is represented, this was their opportunity to reach out to a global audience and share their voice and story while celebrating the beauty and creativity they have brought into this world through their art. Now more than ever we need to come together to celebrate our collective humanity. No one is immune to this pandemic and we hope this will help us get through this time by allowing us to share our stories, celebrate our diversity, mourn our losses, and heal as a planet.
These works will be kept as an archive by the Penticton Art Gallery, to serve as a time capsule, a permanent document of this moment in our history. The collection will be made available for loan to other galleries and museums across the globe. If you would be interested in hosting this exhibition, please contact the Penticton Art Gallery to make arrangements for hosting this exhibition.
Future exhibition dates are in the works for 2021 in Berlin and France with additional opportunities also being pursued. Thanks to Humam Alsalim, a permanent online exhibition will also remain as a lasting legacy of this project and the resulting exhibitions. Thank you to all the artists who submitted works and lent their voices to this project and we wish you all good health and hope that your families and communities remain safe during this global crisis.
