Last weekend saw the Art of Compassion Project participating in the first VeggieWorld expo to ever be held in Paris (France). The expo took place the in 104 Centquatre in Paris and was a great success with over 7,200 visitors! These visitors got the chance to view art by some of our talented artists..... The following artists' work was on show (as prints on stretched canvas);
A very big thanks to the organisers of the expo and in particular Swantje Tomalak for all her hard work arranging everything. This artwork can also be seen later this year at the VeggieWorld Munich (Germany) expo from the 20 April-1 May and again in Paris (France) from the 8-9 October at the VeggieWorld Paris expo. For more information visit: http://veggieworld.de  This thought-provoking piece by Twyla Francois is called; 'Now Serving: Exposing the "Humane Meat" Myth'
Twyla Francois has been a farmed animal cruelty investigator for over a decade. Her work has been the focus of numerous documentaries, including No Country for Animals (Global National), Bêtes à bord (CBC Radio-Canada), No Country for Horses (CBC National), Food for Thought (CTV W5), Cruel Business (CTV W5), Behind the Barn Door (CTV W5) and These Little Piggies (CTV W5). Investigations conducted or overseen by Twyla have led to the closure of facilities, animal cruelty charges and convictions, corporate animal welfare policy reforms, government-commissioned research, rescues of abused and neglected farmed animals, and opening the hearts and minds of millions to the power of their food choices to create a kinder world. Twyla has rescued and been fortunate to share her life with numerous farmed animals, including Wilbur, the pig she rescued off the highway after a trailer accident, Tara and Avalo, horses who were destined for slaughter, Marlene and Natalie, unsold chicks about to be stomped at a livestock auction, and Sophie and Katie, two injured and traumatized turkeys who escaped the catchers hired to load them for slaughter. Recognizing that not everyone will be reached by graphic footage and photos, Twyla's art seeks to raise awareness on the plight of today's farmed animals in a more gentle, but hopefully equally compelling, way To see more of Twyla's work visit: twylafrancois.com and https://www.facebook.com/TwylaFrancoisArt — with Twyla Francois "This image was created last winter, when suddenly fur kept popping up on people' clothes everywhere, after it had been out of the stores for so many years. I was so shocked how little people seemed to know about the cruelties of fur production, that I had to paint this."
To see more of Julia' work visit: www.juliabeutling.de and https://www.facebook.com/juliabeutlingillustration?ref=hl “Burn the Abattoirs” is one of five in a series of silkscreen prints called “Action Words for Animal People.” It’s Amanda's favorite because it’s about unbridled emotion. Where is the channel for our highest fantasies, if not through art? Politics and tactics aside, wouldn’t we all be so happy to burn ‘em all to the ground?
To see more of Amanda's work visit: Pet Portraits: http://myanimalart.com Illustration: http://amandamoeckel.com Animal Advocacy Art: http://consideranimals.com There are still some of these and other prints from the series available in her store.  "When you have the deer as a spirit animal, you are highly sensitive and have a strong intuition. Through your affinity with this animal, you have the power to deal with challenges with grace. You master the art of being both determined and gentle in your approach. This artwork speaks about the connection of the pain between human beings and animals - we are more connected that we think and if we hurt animals we hurt ourselves."
