From Art To Action,

Forging Peace 

Current Art Project

"One Painting One Prayer" is a daily creative series initiated by artist Lin Shih-Pao in response to the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022. Each day, the artist expresses prayers for peace through lines, geometric shapes, and sketches, aiming to awaken public consciousness and rally forces for peace.

Who We Are

Shield Art Foundation, established in 2023 in New York by Taiwanese-American artist Lin Shih-Pao, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit humanitarian art organization. Our mission is to inspire artists to spearhead socially conscious art initiatives that tackle humanitarian concerns and contribute to the peace movement through creative expression.

What We Do

Raising Awareness through Art

We believe in harnessing the power of art to raise public awareness of humanitarian issues. Lin Shih-Pao's "One Painting One Prayer" series has received support from organizations in the United States, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Japan, contributing to efforts in support of Ukraine.

 

Providing Practical Assistance

Beyond artistic endeavors, we actively support tangible donation initiatives. In 2023, Lin Shih-Pao traveled to the front lines in Ukraine, donating supplies such as ambulances and bread-making equipment.
