Featuring paintings such as this one by principal artist Yeow Teck Chai, ‘Art4Good: Painting from the Heart’ raised RM536,000 in gross proceeds for two welfare organisations. (Muhaimin Marwan @ FMT Lifestyle)KUALA LUMPUR: They came with different stories and different ways of seeing the world. But through their paintings, six artists shared a hope - to make life a little easier for someone else.
That hope found a generous response at "Art4Good: Painting from the Heart", which raised RM536,000 in gross proceeds for the Free Food Society (FFS) and the Society for the Severely Mentally Handicapped (SSMH).
With FMT as its media partner, the exhibition ran from Oct 14 to 18 at Bangsar Shopping Centre, with a total of 88 paintings sold. It surpassed its RM400,000 fundraising target.
