Artists design charity masks to assist the homeless
The socially committed art organization Migrate Art is leading a charity project with the help of 11 visual artists and illustrators who have contributed designs for a new series of reversible, reusable masks.
The masks are sold to raise money for Refugee Community Kitchen, which has been feeding displaced people in the UK, France and Belgium since its inception in 2015. After the French rules for blocking Covid-19 forced the charity to stop operating there, the organization focused on providing hot meals to UK homeless people during the pandemic.

The Masks for Meals project has released six of the mask designs, including graphic creations by Kai & Sunny, Richard Woods and Miaz Brothers, and masks with fun characters by Jon Burgerman and Philip Colbert. The artist Helen Beard has also created a design that matches her vibrant color block style.
The five remaining mask designs are revealed once a week. Creations by Camille Walala, Craig & Karl, Friends With You, Mike Perry and Swoon Studio are still pending.
Masks for Meals aims to raise £ 10,000 through the project, which provides 15,000 hot meals for the needy. Masks can be bought individually or as a pack of 5.
