Art is 
It inspires, broadens the mind, and expands our thinking. It creates and strengthens connections - engendering greater communication. It bridges people and cultures throughout space and time. We believe that this greater communication undoubtedly fosters a more compassionate, tolerant, and responsive world.
Zamaana interprets the spirit of art into a creative method of philanthropy.
From every artwork that is sold on our site, we contribute 50% of our commission as a microloan to an impoverished entrepreneur. These microloans are our way of translating the abstract into the tangible - turning the appreciation of art into the building of community. We aim to lift humanity through art and encourage business and opportunity throughout the world.

Art: A Landscape for Environmentalism
Change can come at a glacial pace. But if global warming activists are to be believed, change is coming faster and faster, and with little relief from the friction of a political climate that is turning an icy shoulder to environmental issues. From the widely contested issue of global warming to the simple idea of conservation, a message emerges from the art world, offering a more easily digestible perspective than the political or scientific.
Eco-art seeks to transcend aesthetic appeal, offering opportunity for participation, engagement and action. It makes sense because art is, by nature, intrinsically linked to environment.
