Carina Art Trust
In 2011 "Princess Carina Organization" launched the project called “Carina Art Project" . We started with promotion of young visual artists internationally during our events and at our virtual gallery. Once online, the pictures and small description of an artist, who contributed to Trust, reached the vast audience (almost 2.000.000 Google hits). We helped to sell selected works at charitable auctions.
All proceeds went directly to support charitable causes the Organization believes in.
Since 2012 the Project is called “Creative Giving” Trust with the main aim to collect, preserve and then donate rare items to selected charities.This way we help them to raise founds at charitable auctions and invest into communities they support.The Trust owns the collection of books written and autographed by Paulo Coehlo, the art works by famous French pop diva Melissa Mars, photos by Bruce Smith, one of leading fashion photographers, the autographed Titanic CD by Emmy Award Winner, John Altman, many others. Another words, “Creative Giving” Trust is a bank by model, which accumulates alternative capital, to invest into social change. During only 5 years of existence lots of donors/charities partnered with us or benefited from our support. We helped to generate more then 3.000.000 euros together.
The Project was inspired with Karina’s meeting with Muhammad Yunus (social entrepreneur, banker, economist and civil society leader who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. Yunus founded the Grameen Bank and pioneered the concepts of microcredit and microfinance). Please, visit our sections to see what we do.
Bruce Smith, one of leading fashion photographers, author of a successful guide to fashion photography which was published on both sides of the Atlantic. But not many body know of "The Bruce Smith Photography Academy World Tour 2012" aiming to spread the message of burning social problems in African countries. From his previous travelings he came back with some breathtaking shots. We are proud to receive donation of a licence for one of his most famous pictures called:"Afraid of the Light". All proceeds will go to support joint projects of Organization and the Artists.
