今年四月, 世界女艺术家理事会在北京中国美术馆举办“她的彩色空间系列八-世界女艺术家联展”百余名来自世界各地区的女性艺术创作者齐聚北京参加开幕庆典。
出席开幕式的女诗人- 谈诗把<大画中国-百名女画家捐画慈善展览>草拟计划书交给我,虽然我们刚认识,但是我很欣赏这位有理想和热忱的文艺青年,
认为应该支持她所策划的公益活动。另人振奋的是画展结束那天,谈诗已接收到外国女画家捐出的8幅作品。
5月12日,惊闻震灾发生,天灾难测,身为海外华人,祖国蒙难,忧心如焚。作为一名女性艺术文化推动者,感觉除了哀悼之外,必须要为灾区人民伸出援助之手。
和谈诗,赵蘅等讨论过后,大家一致认同认应该把原本的<大画中国-百名女画家捐画慈善展览>
, 改成《中外女画家"5.12"地震灾后重建》特别行动。
此项活动能成功落实有赖于中国国际友好城市联合会夏国珠秘书长的鼎力支持和鼓励;中国人民对外友好协会、中国国际友好城市联合会,
世界女艺术家理事会和北京边缘人网络技术有限公司联合主办这项公益活动。
儿童是国家未来的主人翁,用爱心重建灾后儿童的心灵,提大型玩具给灾区儿童,
以玩耍的方式让儿童获得许多安慰和力量!
此次捐画的外国女画家共22
位,中国女画家
40
多位。这一善举表达了中外各地的女画家们心声。
中国奇特乐集团支持提供价值150余万元人民币的露天大型玩具(30套)代表中外女画家送到四川、甘肃、陕西三省,支援灾后重建的儿童福利院和幼儿园灾区儿童福利院。 江苏东海海龙水晶工艺有限公司报效水晶心给所有捐画的女画家和志愿者。

This year in April , at the opening day of
Her Presence In Colours VIII- Beijing 2008, I met Tanshi, the
coordinator of "100 women Charity Event to support the Poor in China"
and received a copy of the draft of her proposal for the event. I
admire the lady who is a talented poet with a compassion to help the
poor female students in China. I am also very touched and impressed by
the response of some of women artists who made up their mind to donate
their works for charity. Two weeks after
we returned to home, we were shocked to hear the news about the
Sichuan Disaster in May 12, 2008.
As an overseas Chinese and a women artist, I felt that I have to do
something to support the Sichuan Earthquake. Tanshi and Zhao Heng felt
the same too and we decided to Change the theme to:
China & International Women Artists Special Action In
Response to Sichuan Earthquake & Donated Artworks Exhibition” and our
aim is to
to support the Sichuan Earthquake Children “.
Chinese People's Association For Friendship
with Foreign Countries, the
China International Friendship Cities

China International Friendship Cities
Association was invited to speak and to witness the presentation
ceremony. Amongst the other invited speakers were Dr. Yuen Chee
