ABOUT US
We champion equality, love, creativity, the environment and our future
AIMS, GOVERNANCE, FINANCES
Founded by artist John Dyer, ‘Last Chance to Paint’ is a non-political not for profit project. The project champions the equality of tribal culture, biodiversity, wildlife and ethnobotany through creativity.
​
Aims
To raise positive awareness of environmental issues by engagement in the arts to create deep personal connections to the natural world, tribal groups and culture in school-aged children around the world.
​
Where we are able to, the project will enable tribal people to paint their environment, story and represent their culture through their eyes and traditions by providing art materials and the resulting paintings will be used to inspire children from around the world to connect to tribal culture and the environment.
​
We aim to build the largest online art gallery of children’s art inspired by the environment and tribal culture in the world.
