Faces of the World
is an organization committed to assist
in preserving and empowering indigenous
peoples through
art, education and cultural
exchange.
Over the past 15 years Faces
of the World has visited over 20 countries and
facilitated art workshops for thousands of children
teaching self-reliance and pride in their unique
and valuable heritage, traditional crafts and customs.
Faces of the World provides cultural exchanges between
the host country and the United States through exhibits
of portrait-paintings of children, artists and local
craftspeople.
These exhibitions are used to inform
the public about the host countries’ unique
people. Ultimately Faces of the World serves to preserve
and celebrate indigenous culture by promoting education,
cultural pride, ethno-eco-tourism and creating a
lasting record of fragile cultures.
