GLOBAL ART FOUNDATION
The Global Art Foundation is an international initiative founded by Sathar Al Karan, with a mission to discover, uplift, and empower real artists from villages and underserved communities across the world.
We believe that true art is born from the soil — from stories, struggles, and emotions that define human experience. Many great artists live unseen in remote villages, painting dreams on small canvases or sculpting hope with their hands. The Global Art Foundation exists to find these hidden creators, support their journey, and bring their work to the global stage.

Provide opportunities for training, exhibitions, collaborations, and sales.
Create platforms — physical and digital — to connect local art with global audiences.
Build support systems for artists facing financial, emotional, or social challenges.
Promote cultural exchange through residencies, festivals, and global showcases.

Field researchers and volunteers travel to villages and rural communities to discover genuine, untold artistic talents. Each artist’s story is documented, celebrated, and nurtured.
We provide financial aid, tools, and training to help struggling artists continue their craft with dignity and confidence.
An online and offline platform connecting local creators to international buyers, collectors, and galleries.
From village huts to world art fairs — we curate exhibitions that bring authentic rural art into urban galleries and international museums.
We work with educational institutions and NGOs to provide art therapy, creative training, and sustainable livelihood opportunities for underprivileged artists.

The Global Art Foundation is more than an organization — it’s a community of compassion and creativity. We invite artists, patrons, collectors, curators, and dreamers to be part of this global family.

“Real art is not in museums alone — it lives in villages, in the hands of those who paint with hope, who sculpt through struggle, and who sing through silence.
The Global Art Foundation is born to find them, stand with them, and bring their light to the world.”
