An exhibition of art produced by students for fund raising for flood affectees, was held at Hunerkada College of Visual and Performing Arts, here on Friday.

About 30 young artists from different schools and colleges of Islamabad displayed their work at the exhibition. These students, who have attended a six-week summer workshop at Hunerkada College, beautifully painted different colors of life on their canvass. More than 200 pieces of art were displayed for auction.

Young artists aim to donate their whole income, generated through the sale of their paintings, to a charity to help the victims of recent floods. They were excited that their first ever exhibition is for a noble purpose.
