April 30, 2009 - GENESIS: SARAJEVO receives their first grant from Freedom to Create!

Freedom to Create uses the power of arts and culture to build creative and prosperous societies.

“Freedom to Create is a grant-making organization established by R.F. Chandler in 2007 to harness the powers of the arts to improve the lives of people in the hardest communities of the world.  Art and culture, creativity and innovation are at the epicentre of our history and development as a civilization. Art is an enabler, a universal language that cuts through and across national and cultural boundaries. It empowers the expression of ideas, hopes, dreams, aspirations - in short, it helps to create our future.”  www.freedomtocreate.com
