While browsing LinkedIn I came across a post highlighting the work of Happy Chikoyo Robert, a Tanzanian female visual artist. Happy who lives and works in Dar es salaam was born in Songe, the southern part of Tanzania. Her interest in art began early in her life by working with beads and creating drawings. Her work focuses on capturing the female form and essence; and expressing their feelings and beauty. An emerging artist hailed as one to watch. Happy is quietly building a name for herself developing her art skills and experience under the mentorship of fellow Tanzanian artist Haji Mussa Chilonga.

  1. Dear Sir or Madam,
    I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to introduce an exciting cultural event, the “Artiade – Olympics of Art,” which is scheduled to take place in Long Island City, New York, from September 28th to October 12th, 2024.

    The Participation is offered free.
    We truly value every unique talent and perspective each artist brings. This makes the Artiade a celebrated ‘Olympics of Art’. 

    The Artiade is not just an art exhibition; it is a global celebration of creativity and intercultural dialogue, bringing together artists from around the world. Our aim is to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures through the universal language of art. In line with this mission, we are excited about the introductory showcase of the New York Artiade at Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab in February.
    We believe the Artiade will be of significant interest to your country and its artistic community. It offers a unique platform for artists to exhibit their work on an international stage. Participation is free, and artists are encouraged to apply directly through the website: https://artiade.com/empower-your-artistry/.

    The Artiade has received prestigious support in past events from notable figures and organizations, including Johannes Rau, former President of the Federal Republic of Germany, various foreign ministries, and cultural organizations like the Asia Europe Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Prince Claus Fund, among others.
    We would be honored to have your country participate in this global event. Your support in spreading the word to relevant artists and cultural institutions in your network would be immensely appreciated.
    Thank you for considering this invitation. We eagerly anticipate the possibility of your country’s involvement in the Artiade.
    With best regards,
    Renate Westhoff
Founder, Artiade
