#ShapeoftheNew – Virtual Art Exhibition

We've partnered with ArtCan, a non-profit art organization, and CasildArt, an art agency, to organize a virtual art exhibition that responds to the Shape of the New theme. Work by a diverse range of artists across painting, photography and video will be shown, and expect to see bold statements and deep reflection, on the shape of things to come. Following the first webinar on Thursday, March 11, attendees will be invited to an exclusive preview of the virtual exhibition where they can find out more about the artists who have come together for this exciting and timely collaboration. On Friday, March 12, at 6:00 p.m. GMT, Kroll will also host a live interview on the virtual exhibition platform with Emma Jacobs, journalist at the Financial Times, and Tiffanie Delune, an emerging artist, talking about art and renewal in the face of personal and global challenges. The virtual art gallery can be viewed here on Thursday, March 11 from 7:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. GMT.

Kroll works with ReachOut, a mentoring charity that gives young people from disadvantaged backgrounds weekly one-to-one support from a volunteer mentor. Our employees participate in ReachOut's mentoring programs. We also offer work experience, internships and funding through our charitable foundation.
