Sir Black and I got together and decided it was important to give opportunities to our brothers and sisters in the arts on the continent,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The Founder said her artiste-in-residence programme in Yorkshire was still functional and African artistes were welcome to participate. <\/p>\n<p>Her GalleryGM has also made provision to support a culture-driven environmental programme for a section of Liberians in the Central Region under the Cultural Crossings project.<\/p>\n<p>She said together with her partners they have created the \u2018Healing Circle\u2019 project to offer further support for the orphaned children and every eight weeks the children would partake in the Healing Circle.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the Healing Circle is to encourage the children to help their community and therefore made to feel like they are a part of their community and are making a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Abla Dzifa Gomashie, the Chief Executive Officer, VFL-Ghana, an NGO said the project was a welcome news for the organisation, who believed in talents.<\/p>\n<p>She praised the project saying \u201cit helps to create a platform for young people to have a stage on which they can fly higher.<\/p>\n<p>She cautioned artists, who would be given the opportunity to endeavour to return home after their activity, saying if they fail to return, they would be blocking the opportunity of others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will have a contract with the artists, to serve as a bond that will enable them to return home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She said organisers have an image and reputation to protect and the integrity of the artists themselves would be on the line, if they fail to return.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 39 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 12 October 2017 Source: ghananewsagency.org 2017-10-12 The project is to help strengthen cultural ties between countries on the continent &#13; Madam Sarah G\u00fcsten-Marr, an England-based Artist in collaboration with Values For Life (VFL-Ghana) is to provide opportunity for some selected artists to enhance their experience through the \u201cCultural Crossing Project\u201d.
