Liu's Painting Featured in Art Charity Without Borders Exhibition in Taipei

A new painting titled Breathe by Associate Professor of Applied Sciences Cha-Hsuan Liu has been featured in the 'Art Charity Without Borders: Endless Love' exhibition in Taipei. The painting was commissioned by the non-profit organisation Art Charity Without Borders, which uses art as a means to connect, heal, and inspire, all while supporting a compassionate cause.

Art Charity Without Borders is a global non-profit organisation dedicated to using art as a tool for healing and uplifting disadvantaged groups, particularly children. It aims to bring comfort and joy to vulnerable communities, fostering creative expression and positive emotional growth. The organisation’s mission revolves around three key pillars: healing through art, uniting artistic volunteers for global impact, and engaging communities in meaningful artistic activities.

The Breathe painting exemplifies these values by offering a space for reflection and solace, contributing not only to the exhibition’s success but also to Art Charity Without Borders’ larger goal of raising awareness for those in need.

Liu has expressed that her involvement in the charity goes beyond just being an artist. “As a contributor to Art Charity Without Borders, I am not only an artist who participates in the exhibitions, but also an ambassador to advocate their vision and mission with my international networks,” she explained. “At the same time, I attend field charity works across borders. In the coming year, I might take the role of Vice Chairperson for International Affairs.”

Since its inception, Art Charity Without Borders has operated with a clear vision of using art to bring lasting impact to underserved communities. In previous years, the organisation has run workshops and exhibitions in countries such as Germany, Greece, Eswatini, Ukraine and Taiwan. By fostering collaboration with local artists and communities, it continues to provide emotional support to vulnerable populations. The exhibition in Taipei is another crucial step in bringing global attention to the cause.

“The happiness of children shapes a brighter future for the world,” Liu said. “Through art, we are able to touch lives and foster a sense of unity, hope, and compassion that transcends borders.”

The exhibition was open until 17 January, and the organisation continues to work towards supporting underprivileged children around the world, aiming to bring much-needed intervention and hope.

Looking ahead, Art Charity Without Borders remains focused on its mission and welcomes new collaborations. “Next stop? Perhaps Africa?” Liu teased, hinting at the organisation’s next steps in expanding its global reach.
