Art 19 is an initiative founded by friends with lifetimes of experience in the worlds of art and human rights – Mike Karstens (gallerist and master printer, Muenster), Burkhard Richter (retired commercial lawyer, art advisor and curator, Dusseldorf), Bill Shipsey (Art for Amnesty founder and retired barrister, Dublin), and Jochen M. Wilms (entrepreneur and art project producer, Berlin).
The ambition of Art 19 is to raise money to support Amnesty International's human rights work. The name "Art 19" is an abbreviation of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression".
