. . . . . . . . . . . . About 8 months ago, respected local artist Gail Taylor, saw an episode of PBS Frontline that really moved her. It was about an organization in South Africa called PlayPumps International, who have come up with an ingenious way to combat the devastating water crisis in North and Southern Africa. It's a children's roundabout, that when played on, triggers a pump that with just one hour of play can pump 1400 litres of clean drinking water into a holding tank that is then pumped out through an easy hand pump. An amazingly simple. inexpensive invention that can dramatically improve the quality of life for many people. Gail decided to help and painted the beautiful picture below entitled, "Hold Tight". This picture is 36" by 60" and is currently on display in Agro Cafe, Railspur Alley, Granville Island, Vancouver. 100% of the proceeds of the sale will be donated to PlayPumps International to enable them to continue their great work. For more information, please visit Gail Taylor or PlayPumps International. StoneAge would like to sincerely thank Gail for trying to make
a difference in the lives of ordinary people in Africa. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .StoneAge Sponsors Granville Island Chalk Art Contest The annual Granville Island Chalk Art contest was a huge success again in 2007 !. StoneAge was one of 30 sponsors supporting 20 extremely talented artists who showed us what a lot of talent and a little chalk can achieve. This year, 2007, we were proud to sponsor Nina, whose beautiful artwork is shown below. In 2006, we were proud to sponsor Sherri Rogers, whose beautiful and humorous "Woman with Dog" (below), won an honourable mention - We wish you better luck next year Sherri ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

StoneAge Art Company is proud to have been a part of the Canadian Red Cross - 'Seeing Red' Campaign aimed at helping the people of Zimbabwe stricken with HV/Aids. We were both born and raised in Zimbabwe and still have family there. We know first-hand what this terrible disease is doing to the ordinary, wonderful people of Zimbabwe who are suffering on a daily basis.
We are a small family-run business with limited resources and we believe that this shows what can be achieved through individual committment to a worthwhile cause. We would like to sincerely thank the Canadian Red Cross and their volunteers for the wonderful work they are doing to help our fellow Zimbabweans. As part of our continuing effort to give back to the community, we will also be collecting donations for the 'Seeing Red' campaign in our gallery on an on-going basis. > Return to Top Our latest shipment continues to build on our reputation for excellence in Shona Sculpture.
