Who we are

Not an NGO.
A cultural movement.

Artists for Humanity is an independent cultural initiative built around participation, collaboration and community.

Rather than asking everyone to contribute in the same way, we invite people and organisations to contribute through their own creativity, skills and resources toward a shared purpose.

See how it works

Our model

Different contributions.
One shared purpose.

01

Artists create

Artists use their own practice to express, connect and contribute.

02

Partners open doors

Hotels, restaurants and businesses provide spaces, resources and new audiences.

03

Communities take part

People discover art in everyday places and participate in experiences across the city.

04

Creativity gives back

Each project directs cultural participation toward tangible community impact.

Our 2027 community focus

Standing beside the children and families of Kantha Bopha.

Children undergoing cancer treatment can spend long periods away from school, friends and the everyday experiences of childhood.

“We cannot cure cancer. What we can do is stand beside them.”

Through art, play, creativity, education and enrichment, we aim to create moments when children can simply be children — while recognising the families and caregivers beside them.

Why we support Kantha Bopha

Where it began

From a conversation
to a movement.

Artists for Humanity began in 2026 when one artist asked a simple question during a difficult moment: rather than feeling helpless, what could artists do?

That question became Everyday People, our first exhibition. In partnership with Courtyard by Marriott Phnom Penh, Raffles Hotel Le Royal and Rosewood Phnom Penh, the project raised:

US$32,000Half supported Heartprint in Siem Reap.
Half went directly to participating artists.

It established the principle that remains at the heart of AFH today: art can do more than express how we feel about the world. It can help us change a small part of it.

What can you contribute?

There is no single way to be part of Artists for Humanity. Bring the thing you already do well.
