Art4you Gallery’s “Together for Hope” Inspires Strength, Unity, and Compassion Through Art

Dubai: Dubai: “TOGETHER FOR HOPE,” a significant art and awareness campaign in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025, was successfully held by Art4you Gallery in association with The Arabica Royale. In an uplifting celebration of creativity, compassion, and bravery, the event brought together community members, wellness professionals, artists, and cancer survivors.

“Together for Hope,” which was conceived and organized by Jesno Jackson, the founder and chief curator of Art4you Gallery, provided a poignant forum where activism and art collided, and creativity was transformed into a voice for empowerment and healing. The occasion demonstrated the power of group artistic expression to raise awareness, promote early detection, and offer emotional support to individuals impacted by breast cancer.

The elephant, a global representation of strength, wisdom, and care, was the main topic. An elephant’s simple, continuous-line silhouette stood for resiliency, simplicity, and the unstoppable flow of life. Through color, texture, and symbolism, each artist’s interpretation of this form was distinct, turning it into a personal tale of bravery and hope. “The Elephant of Strength,” the live painting event, evolved into a poignant demonstration of compassion and unity.

18 artists from several countries took part in the live art event, producing striking works on environmentally friendly wooden elephant-shaped panels. These pieces were assembled into a massive installation called “The Herd of Hope” after they were finished, serving as a visual representation of solidarity, camaraderie, and group power. The piece served as a reminder that hope really does multiply when people unite with a common goal. Participating artists were Asjad Elsayed from Australia, Shakiba Rabiei from Iran, Perihan Marwan from Egypt, Christina Leonard, Jeevan Oroolu Veettil, Imaan Owais Qureshi, Neetu Geoge, Jesno Jackson, Shaf Beypore, Afshan Khan, Thomas Antony from India, Svetlana Kreventsova, Nataliia Venerova, Vasilisa Eliseeva, Anastassia Novokreshchenova, Sophie Bekmurzaeva, Zara Bekmurzaeva, Reem Al Subiae, Dahana Salem from Saudi Arabia.

With a remarkable panel of specialists that included Dr. Heike Lieb-Wilson, Dr. Sandra Cristina Isidro Martinho, Fatma Yamen, and young speaker Kiara Kaur, the educational presentation “Strength in Pink” added even more depth to the occasion. The program included important subjects including wellness, emotional healing, early detection, and breast cancer prevention, and it was facilitated with compassion and wisdom. It also emphasized how crucial it is for survivors and their families to have mental health support and community awareness.

Neethu George and Vasilisa Eliseeva each contributed unique pieces to the “Pink Canvas Showcase,” which celebrated inner strength, resiliency, and femininity. Their works emphasized the idea that art can be both healing and transforming by fusing artistic elegance with poignant storytelling. Ahmed Al Mahmood and Lara Tabet, graced the event together with a crowd of art lovers, members of the media, and well-wishers. The mood was one of sincere introspection and solidarity, combining imagination, discussion, and optimism. Speaking about the project, Jesno Jackson said, “Art has the deepest ability to unite people and heal. A movement that brought people together to stand for compassion, awareness, and power, Together for Hope was more than just an event. Co-founder of Art4you Gallery Rengi Cherian continued, “Every narrative told and every brushstroke conveyed a message of empathy and bravery. It was so poignant to witness art evolve into activism.

Distinguished partners and collaborators, such as Breast Cancer Now, Andean Naturals, Dreamy Handicraft, Pamela’s Cakes, Antique Museum and Paper Fig, also supported the event and helped to increase the initiative’s impact.
