solidARTy.org - art fundraiser project, by sal on Jan 6, 2016 16:07:39 GMT 1, Hey @elviswarhol, Im afraid Im not competent to discuss these kind of things as I know too little. Actually, what I do know is probably outdated as the situation changes by the day, if not by the hour. When one country on the route changes rules it triggers a chain reaction for others to comply with that.
The route through Croatia has been working pretty smooth for a while now thanks to the agreement between Serbian/Croatian/Slovenian police, and the train that transfers the people directly, but there is still big demand for shoes, gloves and hats these days for example. Also, Are You Syrious? people are sending their volunteers and aid to Macedonia and even Greece where the situation is much worse at the moment.
Im not sure what exactly do you refer to when asking "where are they coming from and where are they heading", as they are coming from everywhere (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Eritrea, Nigeria, etc) and heading everywhere (Germany, France, UK, etc).
Finally, if you're seriously interested in what the situation looks like on "Balkan route", I'd suggest you to follow Are You Syrious? on Facebook, as they regularly publish news digest with updates from different camps, border crossings, volunteer bases, etc.

solidARTy.org - art fundraiser project, by sal on Jan 8, 2016 13:04:53 GMT 1, Do you have an estimate of how much you've raised so far sal ? A mighty effort! The first batch of auctions raised over 15k eur which is massively beyond I was expecting. Must say that the response from both the artists and collectors, has been very positive and full of understanding, it really brought fate into mankind for me. It also made things a LOT easier to organize and setup.

Staggering effort sal. That's a huge amount you have raised with the help of the artists involved. You should quite rightly feel very proud of a fab achievement.

I think that painting by Haines is very powerful, and brilliantly executed. And currently the price is very cheap I think, for an original painting. Amazing job sal.

solidARTy.org - art fundraiser project, by 11 on Jan 22, 2016 17:19:24 GMT 1, sal has done a fantastic job of running this and can't be easy doing it on his own.
My pieces arrived this week - I'll pop some photos up tonight.... I got the pancho / Martha picture and the Lucas Price AP
And the gallery that sent the Martha even included an extra signed photo print from another photographer - I recognised the name but now can't remember - will share all later

But Sal is doing a wonderful thing with his auctions. I have the utmost respect for him and his efforts. And I know it's been a lot of hard work. I do hope that you will be nothing but supportive.

It's about people that appreciate art trying to help the people that left their homes in search of new life.
You're more than welcome to start a thread where you will discus the issues that you're into (as seen in your last 10-15 posts on this forum), but I strongly suggest you to make them somehow art-related. After all, you're on an art forum and you identified yourself as an artist here. Good luck!
