The "Arte alimenta" project has born in May 2020 to bring food to families that are starving.
Uneasy about the current situation in Brazil, with a high unemployment rate and extremely affected sectors of the economy, I decided to unite my passion for visual arts and experience as an art director to create a way to help those who need it.
So I came up with a simple idea: artists make their works available, and a raffle is created to be spread throughout the artist's network and on social media.
After paying the fees for the raffle website, any printing, and delivery costs, all money collected is used to purchase food delivered through NGOs that are partners of the project.
In this way, I believe we can unite three beautiful things that the world needs so much:
- the dissemination of artwork;
- making art more accessible;
- bringing food to those who need it.

In the first edition, I offered four of my artworks. It sold 100% of the raffles in less than 12h. That's how I decided to transform an unpretentious raffle among friends into a project to, with the help of several artists, obtain more and more resources to purchase food.
