Impact
as of December 2024
Chapter 3: Dreams (2025)
The most recent initiative, “Chapter 3: Memories,” took place in June 2025 at the Semesta Gallery in South Jakarta, focusing on the powerful theme of personal and cultural history.
This chapter successfully attracted nearly 800 visitors, significantly increasing its audience compared to previous years, and showcased over 50 artworks from 35 young Indonesian artists.
Beyond the artistic expression, the funds raised by Chapter 3 were strategically directed toward two key social programs: the Uniform Circulation Program, which aims to provide new and recycled uniforms free of cost to students in rural schools, and the Urban x Rural School Partnership Program, which delivers essential school supplies.
Chapter 2: Memories (2024)
The “Chapter 2: Dreams” exhibition, held in September 2024, centered on exploring aspirations and the realm of dreams through the eyes of Indonesia’s talented youth. This event featured 47 works from 34 artists aged 15 to 35, and notably included pieces created by artists with disabilities, aiming to promote inclusivity and recognition of their contributions.
The three-day exhibition successfully raised over $30,000, with 100% of the profits being donated to their partner organization, World Harvest, to support the education of over 140 underprivileged children in Indonesia through the “Sponsor a Child” program.
Furthermore, the event included interactive activities, poetry readings, and the sale of a poetry book, Proyek Mimpi, penned by young orphans, reinforcing the chapter’s theme of turning dreams into reality through collective effort and the power of art.
