The Seattle exhibit of Ugandan art at the Ballard Bookcase Gallery May 8-10 drew over 100 art connissieurs who purchased 25 artworks and dozens of jewelry items. The oil paintings, woodcuts and watercolors by members of the Uganda Art Consortium prints represented a wide variety of styles and personalities in the contemporary Ugandan art scene. Proceeds form the sales will be used to conduct art classes for orphans and poor children in Uganda, and to provide art therapy and art instruction for AIDS victims and other patients at The Infectious Diseases Institute at Mulago Hospital in Kampala Uganda. A second U.S. exhibition is planned for December in Washington D.C.
