Over the years YDJ has brought creatives together through fairs, exhibitions and online events — championing art, design and meaningful causes.
"Imagine a better world post COVID-19."
The theme for the online fair was inspired by the meaningful lyrics of John Lennon's song Imagine. As the world grappled with the impact of COVID-19, it gave us the urge to become advocates for Unity, Diversity and Sustainability.
An event for a cause, we provided creatives an opportunity to earn a living by selling original artworks, paintings, art prints, handmade crafts and eco-friendly products at the online fair. Every product was uniquely created with a personal touch — giving buyers a sense of connectedness to the artist or designer who created it.
In support of FridaysForFuture.org and UNICEF Malaysia — two percent of proceeds from the fair went to UNICEF Malaysia's Beirut Explosions Children's Emergency Appeal Fund.
Climate Action Art & Design Fair
Climate Action Art & Design Fair 2019 — or CAAD 2019 — was organised to create climate change awareness through art. We paved the way and created Malaysia's first ever creative fair for a cause. It was an achievement we are incredibly proud of.
CAAD brought together artists, illustrators and designers under one roof — showcasing original artwork, connecting buyers and collectors with creators, and using the power of art to advocate for our planet.
