Vibrant souls

Preface
Art brings hope and transformation to communities, it builds bridges connecting people, it provides
healing and strengthens self-esteem.
As part of its engagement to promote art, Opera Gallery Beirut in collaboration with Kreative
Call present ‘Vibrant Souls’, a curated art exhibition that gives people with determination such
as autism, behavior disorder and visual impairment a chance, to be socially and economically
recognized as artists.
Kreative Call is a nonprofit platform that embarks a community of gifted artists with special needs
on an artistic journey to express their emotions and unveil their creativity. The colorful hummingbird
identifying this NGO is embedded in its activities. Like the hummingbird, Kreative Call’s mission
aims to provide healing, spirituality, wisdom, endurance, positive energy and joy.
We are confident that the partnership between Opera Gallery Beirut and Kreative Call will
significantly impact the lives of the nine artists whose work will be exhibited. The show will feature
bright colored paintings picturing the world through the eyes of autistic children, as well as an
immersion into the creative perspective of painters with behavior disorder.
Being one of their main vital mean of expression, remarkable sculptures made with the hands of
visually impaired artists will also be showcased.
‘Vibrant Souls’ wouldn’t have been as ‘vibrant’, without the hard work of Kreative Call and Opera
Gallery Beirut teams.
All the proceeds of this exhibition will go to our challenged Artists as well as ‘The Lebanese Autism
Society’, ‘Zvartnotz Center’ (behavior disorder) and the ‘Lebanese school for Deaf and Blind’.
