Nobody will argue that beauty demands sacrifice. From creators, spectators
and... patrons. Patrons were always renowned!
But sacrifices rise many times, if beauty is created by
those, whose physical abilities are limited. This is pain of soul and pain of
body. Especially in the conditions of our reality. These creators need
help.
But even in the conditions of our
reality, when, it seems, problems of material world take all
strengths, they manage to create works of high art value and spiritual
energy. The most acknowledged authorities of culture and art, in the Jury of International Award
"Filantrop", confirm this fact.
Everyone needs acknowledgement of the society and world support of art of talented people with
disabilities. It is extremely difficult for them to compete alongside with all in our imperfect
society. It is necessary for the society itself for its moral
recovery. And for art, which is self valuable.
International Award "Filantrop" is conferred to really outstanding achievements in the sphere of culture and art to people with disabilities in the categories of
performance, fine art, and poetry once in two years.
Award - is not only its final
equivalent. It is concurs and concerts, expositions and
auctions, receptions and presentations, seminars and
conferences, meetings, excursions and ceremonies... It is a huge
"building"! For actors, artists, poets and musicians with disabilities participating in the Award - nice opportunity for self realization in art and to show the talent to wide
community. They get not only moral, but also material stimulus. It assists to more art concurs and to stronger striving to a
success.
For state and public organizations of many countries the project of
"Filantrop" fund - a chance to pay attention once again to the problems of disabled
people, to strengthen and coordinate their actions on the way of its
solving.
For sponsors and patrons it is real investment to real
charity. Aid will get those who need it. International Award
"Filantrop" is a step to the Community of Equal
Opportunities.
