Our hub allows you to directly contribute to the artistic development of Iraq's creative sector. By sponsoring one of our creative community members, you are directly investing in their work with all proceeds going to the creatives. Check out the descriptions to find out more about their project, incentives, and their inspiration.
Welcome to the Hub
SPONSOR STUDIO NESHAAT
Neshaat is currently looking at scaling up his work as his client numbers grow. With increased sales, and more interest to contribute to exhibitions, his work requires some new space so that he can work on mosaics. With an estimated £4500 needed over the year, you can support Neshaat to open a dedicated space in turn building new opportunities for him to tell stories of Iraqi heritage through his work.
For all donations £300 and above, Neshaat will create an original 51cm x 41cm piece and Creative Iraq will ship directly to your door. Read about his journey on our blog and Check out some of his work here.
