World Art n Soul brings together artists from developing countries, locally-based charities and art lovers from around the world.
We have selected artists who not only produce exquisite works of art but who have the same philosophy as World Art n Soul - a commitment to enhancing the human spirit, a belief in helping people to help themselves, and a desire to close the gap between the developed and the developing world. The charities we select also reflect this philosophy, and have been chosen because they give back to the community in which the artist lives.
World Art n Soul purchases the work from the artist and creates a limited run of 1000 high-quality prints using the Giclée print technique.
From each sale 5% is returned to the artist and 20% to the associated charity. The remaining proceeds go towards printing costs and marketing with the balance being reinvested to bring on more artists, charities and developing countries.

Sian Gillanders
Sian Gillanders founded World Art n Soul because it combines two of her passions - art, particularly the works of emerging artists, and helping people to help themselves as well as helping others.
Sian has been a very successful award-winning kitchen designer for many years, with her own company, SG Design, based in Central Otago, New Zealand. After attending a Personal Foundation course she became aware that her personal goals and values were not being met by just running a successful design company.
Sian is committed and passionate about World Art n Soul and has put her design business on hold as well as investing all her savings to follow her dream. With World Art n Soul she has created an organisation that embraces art with a conscience - giving back to the artist and the artist's community by showcasing artists in developing countries and linking them with a recognised, authentic local charity. Plus World Art n Soul meets Sian's desire to offer art to all, by printing original artwork, keeping prices low whilst maintaining the highest printing standards.
