About & Curation

Social Impact Art Gallery — Hawk Stars NGO

The Social Impact Art Gallery is an artistic and theoretical project run by Hawk Stars NGO - Association for Education, Innovation and Social Development, curated by visual artist and researcher Romy Castro and architect and visual artist Sofia F. Augusto.

It aims to help fund the many social projects promoted by Hawk Stars to develop Portugal's interior. The first goal of the Social Impact Art Gallery is to promote the Arts and Artists.

While promoting artists, it also contributes financially, through the sale of artworks, to rebuilding the building that will house the International Training Centre, part of Hawk Stars NGO's Global Village Project in the city of Pinhel, in the district of Guarda, Portugal.

Once this goal is achieved, the Art Gallery will continue as a crowdfunding platform to fund other social impact projects.
