Sharjah: Humans engage in numerous environmentally damaging actions every year, including deforestation, climate change, and animal extinction. Despite the fact that we should protect and preserve the environment every day, we use a specific day to give our campaign a worldwide platform. That concludes World Environment Day. Art4you Gallery celebrated World Environment Day, where artists group contribute to the preservation of Mother Earth
This year’s theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution,” emphasizes the crucial role that trees play in improving our planet’s health and stability. Throughout this event, we Art4you gallery explored the multifaceted benefits of trees, discovered how to plant a tree, and discussed ideas to inspire Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We titled the event - "NO GREEN - NO LIFE! The Go Green art event to celebrate World Environment Day took place on 10th June at Ark Coffee, Sharjah, a place sustainability meets coffee overlooking the corniche. In collaboration and support from Ark Coffee Founder - Chef Fatema Abdulla Showaiter who is committed to social and environmental activities
'Planting a tree' activity was the best way to tackle climate change, according to a recent study on world reforestation. Tree planting was a simple yet powerful activity that had an immense impact on the environment. By planting a single tree, we were able to contribute to the fight against climate change, conserve biodiversity, and improve the overall quality of life for people and animals alike. World Environment Day provided an opportunity for people all around the globe to unite in their efforts to create a greener, healthier planet. We are grateful to H.E. Laila Rahhall, our chief guest, and our guests of honor, Abdul Aziz Ahmad, Chef Fatema Showaiter, Jesno Jackson, and the 16 artists who took part in the Art4you tree planting program, where each one actively contributed to preserving our environment for future generations. As we observe World Environment Day every year, it is crucial to recognize the significance of this international occasion. To that end, Ms. Bhumika Maniyar, sustainability mentor and founder of The Green revolution, partnered with Art4you Gallery as a sustainability partner and provided the event with lovely terracotta pots and plants. 'Together we can make difference' is the Motto of TGR. Their Vision is to support communities towards building Green & Healthy life spaces
When it comes to environmental restoration, we must first discover what to do in order to protect the ecosystem. The artist painted and shared artwork with the themes of "Go Green," "Beat Plastic Pollution," and "Save the Earth". We had 16 artists who painted live to share and spread the awareness by embracing sustainable practices through their paintings. They created art that not only inspires but also reflects the commitment to preserve the beauty of our planet
Curator - Jesno Jackson held an art talk on Nature with a discussion on "Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle"with all creatives. Art4you gallery was founded by Jesno Jackson & Rengi Cherian. Art4you's fundamental aim in celebrating this environmental event was to encourage and nurture creativity through this networking session connecting the subject- NATURE
“We need to remind ourselves that we’re not separate from nature or the planet! We have this concept as a modern society that it’s not our responsibility, or relevant to us. But ‘nature’ isn’t some thing out there that we should protect out of context – WE ARE NATURE! We rely on nature to nourish us, to keep us alive. It seems we forget that. So I think we were able to spread this message through our community event, to the everyone.", says Jesno
World Environment Day 2023 provides an opportunity for individuals, communities, and organizations to work together and make a positive impact on our environment
