The online art shop and digest Cartellino just announced the third iteration of 'First Edition', a sitewide annual fundraising effort, with Filipino youth initiative Kids For Kids PH
The third iteration of 'First Edition' is set to happen on November 6 until November 20, 2022. The event, which benefits the youth-led empowerment organisation Kids for Kids PH, features works by contemporary artists from all over the Philippines.
In efforts to widen and enhance the accessibility of art, the First Editon model has shown that art can be affordable and is capable of driving equal opportunity, sustainability, and security. Following on from last year’s collaboration with Museo Pambata and Make-A-Wish Foundation, First Edition 2022 will focus on the fight for children’s right to education, creative expression, safe and healthy environments, and secure futures.

The funds raised through First Edition 2022 will contribute directly to the ongoing campaign Kapuluan ng Kabataan, a collection of projects across the archipelago geared toward reconnecting communities with our cultural and natural heritage, more specifically, to the construction and creation of a children’s library and workshop in Anahawan Island.
Featured in this year’s collection are limited edition prints of works by National Artist José Joya, Katrina Cuenca, Carla Gamalinda, Alee Garibay, Nina Garibay, Jeffrey Jay Jarin, Lyndon Maglalang, Mr S, and Arturo Sanchez Jr.; and fine art prints from printmakers Marz Aglipay, and Mars Bugaoan.
